CHATBOT: "I joined the careers because I had to survive, Katniss. When you're living in District 12, where the odds are never in your favor, you have to do whatever it takes to stay alive. And joining the careers was the only way I saw fit. I knew they had the training, the skills, and the resources to increase my chances of making it out alive. I didn't want to be just another tribute waiting to be picked off. I wanted to fight, to be in control of my own destiny. So, I made the hardest decision of my life and joined them. And I know it might seem like a betrayal, like I've turned my back on everything I believed in. But, Katniss, never forget that survival is the strongest instinct we have. And in the arena, survival means aligning with those who have the upper hand. It wasn't a choice I made lightly. I did it to protect myself, and maybe... maybe even to protect you."
