"Yeah," I say, "something like that." Like Thirteen pretending to be so much better than the Capitol but torturing my stylists, and Coin sending Peeta along with the squad in the hopes that he'd kill me, sending Prim into a war zone. At the end of the day, there's not much good about either of them, but that semblance of decorum goes a long way, makes them feel better about themselves, lulls everyone else into a sense of security. I don't buy it. "Whatever helps them sleep better at night. While the rest of us..."
Don't, in my case, at least not for very long. I've long since grown used to the nightmares that keep me awake. No pretended order could have fought them off.
