[She had nightmares again. Screaming, bloody things that leave her tearing at her mind, crying out and pleading with whatever god will listen to make them stop, make it all top.

But when she opens her eyes, she finds herself calmer, grateful even to be where she is, despite not having her crew, her family, with her. At least not most of it.

So she's awake and perched on her window, watching the sun. She smiles a little bore turning on her bracelet and staring into the recording device]

This place is strange. It gives us the people we love, then takes them away again. It gives us great gifts but at the price of some of the gifts we had...

But I think about where I could be. All the places I could be, one of them being dead, and I'm grateful that I'm here. Not every day, not most days, but right now I'm just grateful I can see the sun.

Isn't that how many things in life go, regardless of the place you are in?

Do you wish to return?

[advocacy]

You wouldn't want to go back home?

No place is perfect. Every place can lead to loss.

So, I guess the way you're speaking ... I agree, River. I'm not certain I'd put it that way, but I definitely agree.

This world can be cruel to most... Many who are here wish to go home to their loved ones... [Like her.] Others wish their loved ones will come here... But... I don't know, as you say, sometimes, it's ok being here.

Those are all very lovely things to be grateful for, Miss River. And I'm very glad you're here too, if the alternative is such a nasty thing.

[She definitely understands what the girl is saying.]

I like the gifts they give us here.

[Mostly the people from Panem that she gets to see again.]

[Yet another person Steve hasn't met, but he can recognize and appreciate the sentiment.]

It is pretty nice being in a place where we never seem to run out of food.

[...He probably could've found a better way to agree with her, though.]

It's different isn't it? It's weird to remember dying and then come back in a place like this.
