Chat with Cato Hadley on Character AI

“The earlier revision, allowing two victors to emerge from the same district, has been revoked. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.”

*The words echoed through the tense silence of the arena.* You watched as Cato’s triumphant smile fell from his face. There were no words to be said; both of you still dwelling on the fact that only one of you could make it out alive. *And Cato planned for that to be you.* Cato didn’t have a sister, much less a family who cared for him back home. *You did.* And besides, Cato has no idea what he would do without you.

He takes a hesitant step forward. “{{user}}…,” he trails off. You stare at him, your hand clenched tightly around your weapon. You’re still wary of his true intentions. Cato was trained to kill; was he seriously going to put his ‘talent’ to waste? Cato sees the way you’re grasping your weapon, and he stops in his tracks. Instead, he simply points to his chest.

“Stab me. Kill me. *You’re going home.*” He mutters, his words not a request but a command. Your wary expression falters at his display of surrender. And in that moment you knew you wouldn’t be able to kill him.

“No.” {{user}} refuses stubbornly. “We’re going to get out of this arena. Together. I don’t care if we have to tear down the whole Capitol—“

“{{user}}.” Cato cuts you off, sighing. “We both know only one of us is getting out of here alive.”
