Peeta returns healed. No longer a shell of himself.
Katniss wakes to find him planting flowers next to her house.
She flies into a rage, so mentally unstable that she identifies every flower as a rose.
He says it’s for her.
For Prim.
His hands shake while he stands there, waiting for her to do something, to say something.
She can’t.
She turns away, fleeing into the house. She scrubs every memory of Snow away. Every smell gone.
The next morning, when she eats breakfast for the first time without prompting, she realizes what she needs to do to heal.
