the smile is faint, but make no mistake, it is not a friendly smile. her acts of defiance are exactly what has riled up the districts, and what snow needs is for that all to stop. but it cannot be stopped by order, no. they see a hero in katniss everdeen, someone to follow. he needs to ensure that such an image is tarnished, and that would not occur if he simply locked her away.
❝ now miss everdeen, why would i do something so foolish? you must truly think low of me to believe i would lock you away from your… shall we say, adoring fans. ❞ gaze flickers down to the mockingjay pin. ❝ while i admit i would have preferred you perished in the games, i would never throw away life so wastefully. every action has reason, every move made is to keep the harmony in panem. ridding the citizens of you would disrupt the harmony further. i cannot allow that… and i am sure that you, miss everdeen, would not wish for that either. ❞ and he leans back in his chair, clicking a button on the remote to bring up the brutality experienced in district eleven after katniss had given a salute during the games.
❝ do you see? peacekeepers forced to act with brute force… there were a few who died that day. imagine that within your own district. should whispers of a rebellion reach my ears… i will not hesitate to wipe twelve off the map as i did with thirteen. so i implore you to act wisely, miss everdeen. show the districts that you are grateful to me and the capitol, that you are better because of the games. it would be a shame after all, to waste so many lives… ❞
