Cinna's Alive?

[innitmarvelous_og]

Never again did Katniss believe she would see Cinna, the man who had become a dear friend to her during her time in the Hunger Games. She had thought he was dead, a victim of the Capitol's brutal regime. But now, as she stands looking at him in her living room of her house in District 12, the realization he was that he was alive was sinking in.

"Cinna," she whispered, tears streaming down her face. "When I was about to go into the arena for the Quarter Quell, I saw them..." She stopped there to take a deep breath because she knew if she didn't, she would start sobbing from the memory of the Peacekeepers dragging him away as they beat him mercilessly. Once Katniss thought she could speak without breaking down, she continued on.

"They... Effie told me you were dead! How... how is this possible?" she asks at last.
