A detail that really struck me while rereading TBOSAS is Coryo’s concern over Lucy Gray’s survival in the wild (p507).

Mind you, this comes after being bitten by the snake and chasing her in the forest with a gun. Coryo’s parting thought upon leaving a world that, according to his paranoia, is deadly to him, is of Lucy Gray. Even in the throws of hysteria, Coryo is hoping that Lucy Gray’s escape will be successful and he ensures that she’ll have the means to survive.

I find this duality in his feelings for her extremely fascinating: on one side he perceives her as a threat to his survival, and as such he hunts her down before she can do the same to him. However, once he realises that no one can harm him in the forest, his latent regard for Lucy Gray resurfaces as worry about her future wellbeing.

Once again, his behaviour reminds me a lot of Darth Vader’s final line ‘Where’s Padme? Is she safe?’ in Rots. I know for sure that Coryo wondered the same about Lucy Gray in the years and decades to come.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was an excellent movie adaptation plot wise. It also solidified to me 2 reasons why Snow knew Katniss was such a threat beyond the basics and they were that

He recognized Haymitch as a mentor rewarding romantic behavior within the arena with sponsored gifts because a) it was his idea and b) before the drone system was perfected he saw how mentors themselves could technically follow rules while influencing the games and

He noticed how much sympathy and connection the Capitol citizens could form with the Tributes from all the nurses crying at Lucy Gray’s “last performance” to his entire class chanting to get her out of the arena which forced someone as influential as Dr. Gaul to listen

Snow’s not an idiot he knows Katniss herself held very little power at least at the beginning. But he instantly recognized how her story could be marketed and used to turn both District and Capitol citizens against him especially by people like Haymitch or Coin who knew what they were doing

"The show's not over until the mockingjay sings," she said. "The mockingjay?" He laughed. "Really, I think you're just making these things up." "Not that one. A mockingjay's a bonafide bird," she assured him. "And it sings in your show?" he asked. "Not my show, sweetheart. Yours. The Capitol's, anyway."
