[It's still so weird that he and Clove are getting married. That it's actually happening like they acted like it could in their more stupid moments where they were both alive in the end. Maybe only one of them went to the Games and won, maybe neither of them went. Cato had wanted to with increasing desperation the closer he got to 18 but he'd told Clove before he would only volunteer if she needed him to.
Thinking about things from before the Games; about his sad, pointless life and his parents and their house and his room and the town...he wants that. He wants his mom and dad to be happy and see him get married.
Cato wonders if anyone will even show up for the wedding (still weird) or if it'll just be him and Clove and the person marrying them. The only thing he knows with certainty is that he's been here almost two years and hasn't made one friend. (Or so he thinks).
It makes him miss his parents even more fiercely and, without really thinking, he opens his journal.]
If you could have someone from back home be here, even for just a day, even if they were dead, would you make that happen?
[It seems selfish to even think about it, to him at least. He's curious to see if other people don't give as much of a crap about the life they'd left behind. He just misses his family.]

[she wonders how he will react to it]
[voice]
Really?
[There are stories - just stories, he's never heard anything about them happening in his life time - but stories about people in District 4, where the ocean is there farmlands, striking out against the Capitol and becoming pirates. Living off the ocean and in big boat-houses that they used like fortresses. There were always stories about rebels. But that was all he knew of pirates.]
How'd you become a pirate?
[voice] hideously backdated tag is hideously backdated. Feel free to drop.
I decided it was the best way to get what it was I wanted.
[and perhaps the only way. After much trial and error in the process]
