04: Peeta’s nightmares about losing Katniss were worse to him than anything. In these nightmares, he’d lose her by death: in the games, by mine explosion, by attack in the woods, and in front of his eyes by president snow. He’d lose her by having her taken from him: by Gale, by the Capitol, by anyone who ever talked to her. He’d lose her by choice: having to lie to her and leave her in order to make her safe. But his worse nightmare was not about losing her. It was about her losing him. About his mind being twisted into hating her, and as he gradually got better, seeing her give up on him and leave. When Peeta was hijacked, in the midst of the tracker jacker venom, he dreamed that same dream, and when he woke up, he couldn’t quite decipher if the nightmare was real or not real.
