Watching the people below, Jace wishes she had the strength to jump off the roof, her feet dangling in the air as the citizens below celebrate because they can. Her head rests on the column beside her, a heavy sigh escaping her lips.

" What are you doing, Twelve?" She turns, finding Cato in only pants, his feet hitting the concrete as he moves towards Jace. She can only shrug, looking forward once more. " Are you gonna speak?" She doesn't answer this time, in a daze by the stars in the sky. " Might as well be an Avox," he scoffs, sitting away from her. The tension between them is strong, yet neither bother to speak, only staring at the scenery they're are given.

 " What is it like in there your district, Two?" Ace blurts, looking over at him. Cato's eyes glance at her before they move away, staring at the dots above them again.

 " Many mountains.  A lot of training for this. Mines to build weapons. What about you?" She looks at him in confusion.

 " There is nothing to know. I will be dead in two weeks."

 " How do you know?"

 " I just do." He looks at her, eyes showing something she cannot read. " Your here, a career. That's why."
