The last thing Peeta remembered before the blow to the head and the metallic taste of blood in his mouth was his warning. There remained but a shred of himself that still cared about Katniss and wanted her to be safe, but after taking that beating for his words and somehow knowing that she was never coming for him...Peeta just didn't have the energy to care anymore.
He came to, his face tight with swelling and the side of his head sticky with blood, matting his blonde hair against the sidewalk, and the sun was far too bright for him to fully process where he was. His body felt broken. Peeta wondered if they'd kept hitting him when he was down just to be sure or if it was simply old torture wounds flaring up. He groaned and closed his eyes again, resigning himself to whatever was next to come. There was little fight left in Peeta for his own life. He was tired. The sooner they killed him, the sooner all the torture would end; the sooner he would stop hearing Johanna's screams echoing in his head when they weren't directly in his ear from the adjacent cell.
At this point, Peeta found himself miserably thinking, death would be better.
