Fin,

''Good job. I told you to stay, and look! You're still alive! You're in the final eight! And we have more money! Do you know what that means?''

'Finnick Odair, I am hereby sending you a trident. '

''Congratulations, Fin, you deserve it! ''

''I suggest not breaking the alliance with Gale just yet. If you come across Annie and Johanna please ally with them. Only if you come across them, don't go looking fo r them. Please make sure to watch your back and stay alive.''

Now that we're in the final eight, I'm gonna try making a strategy. ''Don't hunt down the other tributes OK? And make sure that once Gale comes back you and Gale start taking shifts at night. I hear the Careers are starting to hunt down the other tributes using night vision goggles. So start taking shifts to watch if any Careers or any other tribute comes.''

''If Gale doesn't come back, I suggest keeping watch, try not to fall asleep. In the chance you really are that tired, I'm also sending you rope. Make a snare before you sleep, so that whoever tries to kill you in your sleep gets trapped/killed first. Save the extra rope for other snares you may need in the future.''

''Oh, and also, please no injuries. I have very little money so if you're injured and you need something like Instant Relief, I'm screwed.''

''Please make it to the top five, we have so little money and I really want you to win this. Last Mentor Games I got Haymitch to third. Can you do better? I highly believe so, unless you're a worse tribute than a drunk.''

''Stay alive. Stay safe. Be prepared. Watch your back. Kill or be killed. I'm always gonna be betting on you, no matter what. May the odds be ever in your favor. Kill only when you're sure you have a shot. I want you to win. Win this, so that whenever I feel sad, I can think back to when you won and be happy. ''

''Win, please. And remember, I'll be betting on you, no matter what.''
