Adjusting to District Thirteen took a while for Katniss, especially without Peeta by her side. It was a struggle, everything was. She had to be in the psychiatric side of the medic wing. Which again, was torturous.

Once she was released though, permanently, she got to sleep in one of the better compartments, one that had windows displaying the outside.

It was okay, things were as okay as things could be in the middle of a war. A war that she inadvertently started.

Her younger sibling Meadow however, had way more difficulty adjusting. There was hardly any children their age in District Thirteen, and even then, the children that were there were so serious. Worst of all, Meadow didn’t have their pet cat. The cat that was pretty much Meadow‘s emotional support.

But Katniss was here. So late at night, when neither she or her younger sibling could sleep, she’d slip into their bed and cradle them closely. Just like she did back at home.

Katniss will never let anything happen to Meadow. Never.
