"You go to the Capitol two to four times a year, not on any set schedule," Shell Bell says to Cerulean.

"I - yeah."

"If you go now," she says, "it could be the last time. There can stop being any Capitol to go to. Soon. In time to save the tributes, before fever season hits, before another winter goes by and freezes and starves a few thousand people. If you don't go, and if I can't get anyone else to go either, there will be time for another visit or two before Kiro can do anything."

Cerulean is not making eye contact.
