CLINT. Stop doubting me! You have no idea what I'm capable of!
[Personhood is not something that anyone in the Capitol puts much stock in at all. People are praised for how well they fit into, replicate, support, and reproduce the system. They're praised for their physical looks and fashion sense and having blithe, devil-may-care attitudes toward life. They are honored to the degree that they don't care about anything relating to justice or righteousness or critical thought. And Effie is still too afraid of dipping her toes into anything real. She is still clinging desperately to what she is terrified, more and more, might be something empty and meaningless.
She lets loose on the bag, finally actually punching it. Thumbs tucked in, not out like Clint had suggested. There's a horrible crack as she lands one very good punch.]
