Katniss got shot, knocked out, drugged up and had dreams of searching for Peeta and following his scent and cuddling with him even after she experienced the violent βevil mutt versionβ of him. She made out with a pearl because she missed kissing him. She comforted herself in the murder arena by falling asleep fantasizing about his babies. She canonically states that she held off from ending her own life after the war because she felt like she was βwaiting for somethingββfor him to come home, because the moment he arrived back in 12 she was motivated to take a shower and leave her depression hole for the first time in months. And you think she just settled for him because she couldnβt get over Galeβs association with the bombings?
