Katniss looks at him for a long moment before she sees that understanding is real and genuine. She nods, relaxing her muscles further as she lets out a breath, scanning the ship.

"So this isn't like with the rifts," she says, because there was no way back in that case. She doesn't know what she'll do if she goes back where she came from, if it sends her back. She doesn't know that she wants to go back this time even if Prim is left there. Katniss has a habit of putting her in more danger despite volunteering to save her to begin with (and she doesn't even know the half of what's to come there).
