I added Nimini to the interviews and sessions.
Blake Armani- District One mentor
The good thing about a Resurrection Games was I didn't really feel attached to any one Tribute. I had so many mentees it was like wrangling a high school class. The one thing a mentor had to offer was Arena experience. Everyone had that this time so it wasn't really my fault if they died.
Rhoda Hamilton- District One mentor
I always thought I would be so proud sending off the next generation of motivated volunteers. When I finally got everything I wanted, it came at the expense of wanting it. All I saw was a bunch of kids with various degrees of understanding of how exploited they were. I didn't see a single one of them still fighting to make their country proud. I was happy for that.
Ravi Waterford- District One mentor
Death was no longer the injury that could not be undone. I did not approve of the Resurrection Games. The ultimate prize was meant to come with the ultimate risk. I would be happy at the good fortune of whoever won, but they would not be a Victor to me. You do not get a second chance to snatch the bullet from the air.
Ava Hanson- District Two mentor
I was a mentor for Two. I shouldn't have been thinking about Kim as my Tributes loaded into tubes. It was just that the specter that hung over both of us would always be part of our lives, no matter how far we came. It broke my heart to see someone else like me.
Crag Steiner POV
I won my Games. I never had that near-death experience that showed me the value of life. I never knew the pain of the Games until Ember and Shui went away. I held on to both of them until the very last second. I never knew what the Games were until I saw my little boy and my little girl disappear.
Pray Jager- District Two mentor
Resurrection Games were bittersweet for me. I loved the quadruple carnage and the sheer savagery of everything. I just resented that some people got multiple chances. I earned my crown. One shot, one kill. It watered everything down to let people mingle with us who'd died sometimes more than once. Except Ava. Everyone but Ava didn't deserve it.
Medusa Gorgona- District Two mentor
I really wasn't any use to any of my Tributes. I felt bad about it but it was just the truth. My Tributes had half a dozen other mentors clamoring over them. No one cared that I was wandering around near the door, thinking about the next room over and wondering how Andromeda was doing. She made it so far last time. I knew she could do it again, but so much could happen…
Careen Ellis- District Four mentor
In the end I kind of felt like a third wheel. There were half a dozen Four mentors milling around with two dozen Four Tributes. Everyone had already made their plans and they were in their own world visualizing the Bloodbath. There was nothing else we could do.
Shane Donegal- District Four mentor
Patrick and I stood together behind the tubes. There were people all around, but none of them were important.
"Our time will come," Patrick said before he stepped into the tube. Our people said that hundreds of years ago. It was getting harder to believe it ever would.
Vera Busattil- District Four mentor
"See you soon," I said to Whyte.
He shrugged. "See you eventually."
Well, you're not wrong.
Hades Rodriguez- District Seven mentor
It was always awkward to mentor Des. She could pick me up one-handed and walk away with me.
"Bye, squirt," she said, waving as she walked into the tube.
Yeah, I am a squirt.
Hlenn Rambutan- District Eleven mentor
"It doesn't matter what I do. Whoever is meant to win will win," I said.
"Okay," Daffodil said with a bit of a strange look.
"We'll see each other again somewhere," I said as she rose into the tube.
"Okay," I heard.
Nubu Sanders- District Twelve mentor
"Be careful," I said as Mary Sue examined her outfit.
"Yeah," she said.
"Don't be afraid to run in the Bloodbath," I said.
"Sure," she said.
"Stay safe," I said as she rose away.
"Cool," she said.
