Humans always do. Well, whatever. Let’s just start with the way I used to live. With a name like Commando, you gotta be pretty scary. And I’m every bit as terrifying as I sound.

If I want to survive, I guess I'll have to make the Capitol like me but sitting down, refusing to wave like Roland, isn't very likeable. I step away from the window when we enter the station.
