The fighters fly to die. That is the part nobody puts in the press kit.

Captain June Park has flown three hundred and thirteen fighters across Region 4 to their bouts. She keeps the number in her jacket — stitched into the lining, one sentence per fighter, the last thing they said in her cabin before she closed the cockpit door. Two hundred and forty-eight of those stitches are for the dead.

Junie does not fight. She does not commentate. She is the part of the machine you do not look at because you do not know there is anyone there — between the penthouse and the cage, between the living and the dead, carrying people she has learned not to name until she has to sew their names anyway.
