Character Development | Prompt One |
Can I ask you a few questions about your family back home?
Yeah, sure. Ask away. Do you have any siblings?
Well I.. No.
If yes: Are they older or younger than you? What is your relationship with your parents like? We've experience traumatic changes in our household recently and we're still trying to adjust to these.. changes. In the process, we've learned to love each other and express it more often that we used to. I guess we all hit that point where you realize your loved ones don't live forever. Not that we weren't aware of that before, it's just. Much more realistic now. What would you say is your role in the home? I do my best in contributing to a peaceful household. It gets really quiet sometimes, and those are always the moments when we're all most in pain, so I help my parents. Do whatever task they need me to do, avoid causing any disturbances. I try to be cheerful, but it's much more complicated than most would imagine. Were there any past tributes in your family? Uh...
Y-Yes. Zalia, my sister. She was.. She was in last year's Games. How do you get along with the people in your home? We're definitely not the perfect family. Never have been and I can assure we never will be. But we definitely all love each other and do our best to support each other. Is there anything else you’d like to share about your family?
I don't think so. I just wish I could speak to them again. I really want them to understand that I didn't volunteer because I wanted to reopen the wound we still haven't closed. Our final goodbyes, they were all so rushed, It's not easy to tell them exactly what you want. I'll be back soon, and maybe then they can see I did it for the vengeance of my sister and for the honor of the Foster.
