This is most likely gonna do nothing, but I hope it will if you are willing to use this advice:

Shade, you are the last one in your two man alliance. I too cried at Amana's death, yet her mentor showed no reaction. You need to be the one who avenges her after she died. The only thing that sucked about killing Lyno was that you could only do it once, theres no torturing him any further now. You need to try to get Amana's things along with Lyno's things and find a safe way back down the mountain, you saw what it did to Lyno after just four days. Once you're on the ground, don't waste time and find an effective hiding spot, that can keep you safe enough. Give the audience something to look forward to so the gamemakers don't have to send any inconvenient mutts after you.

For the feast.. if there IS time for one Shade, I want you to go and be careful with which bag you choose alongside yours. You should take the person you hate the most's bag and then you should just run back into the woods, staying close to the cornucopia but not too close that someone could find you. Fake depression over Amana's death and create some sort of "drama" that will captivate the audience and thus restrict gamemakers from potentially killing you.

Use the anger you have from losing Amana to fuel you Shade. Lyno was supposed to die, not Amana. But things happened and now, you're alone. Alone to either win fighting or die trying. Keep your cool however, being stupid is what gets people killed. You need to go back to being yourself, but you still need to have the intense will to fight and win. Remember what you thought about Amana, remember how you fear the day she kills you or vice versa. Well, she's dead now and I know you take everything you said back. But to who, Shade? She isn't alive to hear that apology, but winning the games and telling her story is enough of an apology.

You made it this far Shade, and I'm proud of you. If you truly wish to avenge Amana, do the one thing she will never be able to do now in her honor. Win the games and live to tell the tale to those who care. You just lost a friend Shade, don't let your family lose their son.

Good Luck Shade, may the odds be ever in your favor and may mercy be on your side.
