[She's been here for over a year now. Been without a chaperon for even longer. The idea of Effie even remotely resuming her old job here is ridiculous. Utterly laughable. She's as much a pawn of the Malnosso as the rest of them.
And yet, Katniss can't quite bring herself to tell the woman that yet. She remembers how difficult it had been for her prep squad to adjust to life in District 13. How Octavia caused them all to be punished for stealing an extra slice of bread.
For the first time, she wishes Peeta here not for her own selfish desires but for the help he would give Effie in adjusting. She doesn't possess even a quarter of his patience.
Of course, the second Katniss grimaces, the journal camera takes a photograph.]
I'm not worried, I'm... [She pauses and shakes her head.] Luceti is a Game, Effie. The Malnosso are going to treat you the same as everyone else here. You're nothing more than another subject for their experiments. They're not going to care that you're from the Capitol. Not at all.
