GOOD MORNING, CITY!

[It is, in fact, the middle of the night but close enough to sunrise that she can say "morning." But that isn't the bizarre thing here. No, the bizarre thing is that Ginny Weasley is beaming so brightly, she might burst, practically vibrating with happiness and excitement.

Also, she's kind of covered in flour and glitter.]

Isn't it just a wonderful day? And it's only barely started! I know things have been so difficult lately, everything's just been so sad, and there's really no reason for it. Everything will sort out like always. Why get bogged down by the City at all? I know I've let it happen for far too long and that's a shame, really, when I've got so many reasons to be happy!

[She sets the camera precariously on something on the kitchen counter, leaning in close.]

I've got wonderful friends, doesn't matter what all those stupid nightmares say, no one's died on me since the war! And if anyone leaves to go home, well, I say good for them!

[This is punctuated by a fist banged on a cluttered kitchen counter and the camera topples and the video feed cuts out.]

[He looks almost sad for a second, because he knows she's cursed, and that this happiness won't last beyond the time of the curse, but he shakes it off. There's no sense in raining on her parade.]

I'm glad. You deserve to feel this happy all the time, y'know?

[She's going to crash hard at midnight and it won't be pretty.]

It's just hard sometimes but I agree. I think everyone should.

Everyone should, but not everyone does. You just enjoy the day today, okay?

I absolutely plan to! And I'll send along a delivery to you shortly, I hope you like them.

A delivery? I'll look forward to it, kid.

It just can't wait 'til tomorrow.

[CUPCAKES MUST GO OUT NOW. She starts vigorously mixing something just out of frame, batter slopping a bit out of the bowl.]

Oops.

[He laughs.]

Glad to see you're eager about it. Probably means it's a pretty great delivery.

Well, I hope so. You all deserve something wonderful.

Some of the people here do, that's for sure.

And like I said, October's always such a difficult month. Halloween was always so great back home, we'd have this huge feast at school and huge carved pumpkins, live bats flying around, sweets everywhere... The City always manages to make it terrible.

[Absently eating some batter off a spoon now.]

So I'm just doing my little bit.

I always liked Halloween back home, too. I mean, sure, we didn't have huge feats or live bats, but it was a kinda fun thing, as a kid.

I think so! We never did costumes. But I got into the habit of that here. My favourite was my Snitch one, Cinna made that.

[Cinna, who she knows is dead in his world. Finnick danced with her at that party and she knows he dies too. Everyone always—

SMILE, WEASLEY.]

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever owned.
