Before anything, I'll try my best to have advice be posted by tomorrow.

1. I cannot say much besides that I love how there is still emoion in what many people see as a "heartless, empty beast". They are being ignorant in a way since they still cling to the idea that Kodai is now a bloodthirsty antagonist to the games now that Ophelia died when really, he's hurt on the inside and wishes to avenge her in the best way he can?

2. I'd really like to see Dyna win. He's suffered a lot to see his alliance make it through the games and if Kodai doesn't win, it should be Dyna. I also think that Michael should win, seeing as to how he seems to just be a basic tribute in the games. No intense and crazy backstory, just another average guy in the games who's a killer while at the same time someone who fights to survive. But, as you may have guessed, these two come behind Kodai. He's defied everyone's expectations of him, doing things they didn't see coming. At first he was the creepy guy who just clung onto some girl he felt close to like he was a cat, but he gained more personality as he started to realize that these aren't games; it's a forced war between districts.

3. ''“You wanna play cat and mouse, I see.” She almost purrs at me, playfully. “I may not be the best climber in the world but don’t think I can’t scale a cornucopia, little boy. It’s the oldest trick in the book, you know.” She places her hands at the walls, her claws pointing upwards, to catch my sword if I try to cut her while scaling. She kicks up from the grounds, starting to climb. It’s now or never."''

I love how it shows the desperate struggle Dyna was having with Hester as he knew that brawn meant nothing at this point. With just a few sentences one could imagine what was going on in the arena, as if it was a preview. Two enemies, one confrontation. Give them both weapons, and only one will live.

4. Kekai, you're my bro and all and we rarely clash like this but, Lynx has to die. Despite having people he cares for despite being the monster he is, the arrogance that lingers within him is something that must disappear.

5. My list (in no particular order):

Lynx

Michael

Kodai

Wolf

Lucy

6. ''"As I come nearer, Kodai finally stands up, looking at me. The anger in his eyes is gone, yet the dark hatred lingers along with a new feeling: Emptiness. As if nothing matters. And then, finally listening to what his girlfriend had been yelling for him to do all along, he takes off running away from the scene, away from me and Ophelia, leaving it all behind.." ''

I love how it shows possibly the final change of heart Kodai ever has in these games. It's one of hatred, the opposite of love. He hates the fact that Ophelia is gone, the one who was distracting him from being the killer he was capable of being of. But he also feels empty, because Ophelia was the one who made him who he is and without the second half of the heart, Kodai is just half the man he used to be.
