There are very few people willing to fight against the Capitol.

She is one of them.

She is different. Because she doesn't mean anything, and that makes her expendable, that means that they can do whatever they like to her and no one will ever know the difference.

They can make her a servant.

They can cut out her tongue.

They can cut off her hair.

And every foolish person who lives in the Capitol will honestly believe it is for theft, for murder, for abuse. They won't even think that it's for fighting against injustice, because their Capitol is not unjust.

Why would someone want to fight against the Capitol?

But there are people that do, and she is one of the very few, and because of that she disappears and her family never sees her again.

Her tongue is cu and she works for the people she despises, never being able to tell them exactly what she thinks of them. That is the worst sort of punishment, for someone like her.

Because she is one of the few who cannot be controlled, and so the Capitol are willing to do anything to silence her, even if they have to take the knife to her throat.
