Everything had, for the most part, gone as she had hoped. From the food to the goat, to dancing and the fireworks. Enough people seemed to enjoy themselves. Even Katniss found it hard not to smile the whole time. Just seeing Prim radiate with joy was enough to make her the corners of her mouth twitch upward.
Though she probably should have cleaned before going to sleep that night, she abandoned the mess until the next morning. Though it had been a good day, it had also been a long one. Until waking up the next morning.
Surveying the mess around her in the living room, Katniss ran a hand through her tangled hair. She shook her head and rolled her eyes slightly. It was early, she had a hunt to leave for. Cleaning just didn't fit in. It seemed like a much better idea to quietly slip into her old room and bed and curl up next to her sister.
Chouji is scarce for the first day once he comes back to himself. He stays out of the house, throwing himself into training as a distraction, grounding himself in the reality of which world, which set of memories, are his. All of the reflexes and techniques are there, those of a shinobi, not a football player. Eventually, he makes the easier visits, hesitating on this last one. When he wakes up on the morning of the 13th, though, Chouji knows he can't put this off any longer.
Prim is the hardest to face.
Chouji never believed anyone would be interested in him romantically, and Prim being interested on top of her calm kindness and determined optimism is a very big thing to lose. It is a loss, even if he can still seek her out here. He can remember the incredulous joy of it clearly enough that the absence sinks down into the pit of his stomach. The Chouji and Prim who were dating weren't real, nor was their relationship. Chouji isn't even sure how he feels now. If he wasn't in love with Prim in whatever dream they were stuck in, he was close enough to it. His attachment to her still hasn't vanished entirely. And he was due for a hard conversation with his friend even before events interfered.
The recent revelation from Katniss wasn't surprising, exactly. Prim is hardly the first person Chouji knows living on her second chance here; he knows others, from his own world and hers, who are dead at home. But they haven't talked about it since he learned, leaving unspoken grief tangled up in the mess of feelings that were already hard enough to sort out.
Chouji has to force himself to go to Prim's house, to knock on the door. She deserves it. Prim deserves an actual conversation, not an awkward skirting of subjects the next time they share a shift at Seventh Heaven.
[ So this was the day before. If Prim comes into work or he sees her at school (or even if he doesn't), Rin offer to make her whatever he favorite food is. And possibly ask what her favorite food is. So she can have at least something for the time being, as he lamely doesn't know what to do]

He just isn't sure what he'll say.
