Paola,

Congratulations surviving during the feast day, girl! You did very well during it doing another kill, even more of the credit goes to the cat. Only six lucky tributes are left out, and you have made that far. Now, back to the advice. You do not need to end up you alliance with Lella on the start of the day, because you two are a good team.

Anyway, the final day might be today, so you need to be aware about it. Since it narrowed the number of the tributes, the Gamemakers will probably find a way to get you all together in just one place to fight. It will be hard, since many tributes are good enough to oversmart you, so I will detail each one.

Jacen and Suzuki: Well, they are supposed to be the hardest targets. Since they are ready to win over anything, they are probably leaving the alliance or killing each other. Anyway, one will keep stand. And we need to aim on that one. All the other tributes, even this one, are probably waiting for the other tributes to arrive at their place. Going on the place that they know well would be a problem, considering that they are strong and quick. If no one moves, the gamemakers will call you to a showdown or something like that. And in the final showdown, you will need to be prepared. Jacen and/or Suzuki are both stong enough to take the tributes down in just one blow, so double warning on them. Suzuki works with poiso or with machetes, which means that he is a close-ranged competitor. However, Jacen works with a shuriken or a scythe, which can mean that he is good at both. The problem is that you and Lella are close-ranged competitors, which means that throwing weapons will not be good for you girls. So, the solution is letting one of them take the other, and wait for it. Then, you guys will have to throw a weapon like you throw a mace or Lella throws a knife at a most-damage part of the opponent's body. Then, while they fall down with the injury or are next to the death, make one of you finish the job. It may be dangerous, but is apparently the only way to take out them two.

Willow: Another threat in potential. Kill her may be a problem, one of the bigger ones. Willow will probably hide next to the area that she is right now, which can be a big obstacle of winning the Games. She has long-range weapons, such as six throwing axes and she can be deadly using these. Also, she has a body armor, which increases the threat level of her. I assume that she will throw an axe at anyone who passes through her hiding spot and that she sees as a threat to win. It means, anyone at all. Also, she will probably ditch her alliance with Camellia because of the few number of tributes alive right now. I think we need to find a solution to kill her, which can depend. If no showdown happens and you see her in her hiding spot: First of all, hide too. If she ever sees you, she will throw an axe, probably killing you. So while she is looking to the other side of something like that, you and Lella prepare. Then, one of you throw a weapon at her head or any area near that. If it misses her, then you two will need to be fast and work out to reach her before she grabs her two throwing axes. Then, beat with your mace on her head or something to knock her out. If she is attacking on the showdown: Then, it will be easier, but not easy at all. She will probably attacking people with her throwing axes, so find a way to stalk her by behind and then, beat with a weapon on her head. However, if not, you can just throw a weapon at the head.

Camellia: Oh, here is another threat like Willow. As I previously said, she and Willow will probably break up on their alliance. Each one will go to one side, and it is a problem for us. Camellia, nmuch like some others, uses a close-range weapons. It could get the things harder on how to kill her, but it will be similar on how to kill Jacen or Suzuki. You need to move faster than she does, to finally be able to finish her off. If you see her walking around the arena, then you need to think faster. Check if she is with her axe next to her. If no, then you need to call her attention somehow, and you can use a rock or some leaves if you need to. Then, when she is looking to somewhere or something, make Lella or you scare her out by behind, finishing her off. But if she is with an axe, then, it will be harder. You and Lella need to be aware of her movements, and throw a weapon at her when she gets close o you girls. If she doesn't die, then, you or Lella will have to finish the job on her.

Lella: Well, this one is your only ally now. You and her will probably be the last tributes into an alliance, since the other two will break out. I think you will not have to worry out about her, since she is your only and main friend in these Games. You don't need to kill her during the last day, just if yyou REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to do that. ANyway, remember to stick with her until your last moment together.

Now, good luck Paola! Do it for District 3 and do it for Clara!
