Suzanne Collins: "Saya mencari di matanya apakah ada tanda, ketakutan,...

"Saya mencari di matanya apakah ada tanda, ketakutan, penyesalan, kemarahan. Tapi hanya ada tampilan hiburan yang sama yang mengakhiri percakapan terakhir kami. Seolah dia mengucapkan kata-kata lagi. "Oh, Nona Everdeen tersayang. Kupikir kita sepakat untuk tidak saling berbohong." Dia benar. Kita telah melakukannya. Titik panah saya bergeser ke atas. Saya melepaskan string. Dan Presiden Coin ambruk di sisi balkon dan jatuh ke tanah. Mati."

--- Suzanne Collins

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I search his eyes for the slightest sign of anything, fear, remorse, anger. But there's only the same look of amusement that ended our last conversation. It's as if he's speaking the words again. "Oh, my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other." He's right. We did. The point of my arrow shifts upward. I release the string. And President Coin collapses over the side of the balcony and plunges to the ground. Dead.
