Summary
Maybe she flew away. I’m sure she’s out there somewhere. She’s a survivor. But it’s a mystery, sweetheart. Just like me.
She'd been preparing for this since the beginning, hadn't she? An escape plan, a way to disappear as if she never existed?
or,
Coriolanus spirals while trying to find Lucy Gray in the woods.

Summary
"I don't write songs about love anymore, Coriolanus," she says, the meaning well understood by the both of them.
"Even if you did, I wouldn't know, Lucy Gray," he replies. "I don't listen to music."In which the Capitol tries to extract what it cannot create. To their dismay, taking music from the districts can only yield the barren shells of song.

Summary
Her arms move up, wrapping around his shoulders and behind his neck. They cling together so tightly that Lucy Gray doesn’t know where she ends and where Coriolanus begins. Maybe she hasn’t known for a long time now. Since before she became his, like it was always written in the stars.
“I’m so sorry,” he murmurs into her, and he must be in some kind of grief-stricken trance because he says it again and again.
What can she say? That it’s okay? It’s not— not at all. Sejanus’s neck was broken for the crime of wanting to help people be free. None of this was okay, least of all what Coriolanus had done.
So why does she still love him?
Maybe it was need. Maybe it was dependence. But Lucy Gray always valued her freedom, so she thinks it’s more than that.

Summary
Their lips slide together, then their tongues curl and she moans, a light, heady thing, come alight with the realization that she is finally, finally home. It’s tender at first, but at the sound of her moan Coriolanus grabs her chin in between his fingers and plunders her mouth harshly. As if this is a punishment.
You left me, every kiss he gives her, takes from her, breathes. You left me.
And Lucy Gray—
Well. For her this isn’t a punishment at all.
Or: Lucy Gray and Coriolanus can't seem to let each other go.
