Her sense of self, and her self control, are usually so much better than this. If it hadn't been for her desire to be anyone else, to forget herself and the glitches she had been given, Katniss might realize how out of character she's acting. She might realize that Derek isn't the only one who feels weird; she does too. Katniss never lives in the moment, not like she is right now. It's difficult to see past the next minute. Or to think about why she's acting so strangely.

Derek's words sting. On some level, Katniss realizes that he's trying to be as kind as he can in the situation. He isn't trying to hurt her. But it hurts nonetheless. Being rejected hurts. She's unaware that he's really trying to look out for her and make sure that neither of them do something they'd regret. And he's right. He's right about all of this. Tomorrow morning, Katniss would hate herself even more than she already does if that kiss led to more. She just can't see any of that in her addled state.

"We can't do this," she repeats slowly, trying to make sense of this. "You're sorry." Katniss's frown deepens as the HappiTime still in her system tries to pus her past the pain she's currently feeling. She shakes her head. "Did I do so something wrong?"

Because that, some nagging thought in her brain says, would make sense. Katniss Everdeen rarely does anything right.
