Well it's easier to say than believe. But he sounds like a good person, and they're the ones who can come back.
[He's seen evil so deep that there's no back for them, felt it in the presence of the Army. Seen madness that worked so hard to blot out good that it only shone through in brief, beautiful moments of struggle. He really doesn't think Peeta is resigned to either fate.]
[ haymitch once told her she could live a thousand lifetimes and not be worthy of peeta and she wasn't upset because she knows it's true. he's better than anyone and he doesn't deserve the life he's got.
now that she knows there are other worlds, she can't help but wish for him that he'd been born somewhere kinder, more gentle, so he could've been allowed to grow up soft. ]
[Maybe it's unfair to compare, but he and Cassie came through so much - not unaltered, not by any stretch of the imagination, and it kills him to think of how hard she became. But they came through, and he believes in these two.]
[ that's actually advice she can take and keep. she's stubborn enough to drag both peeta and herself kicking and screaming through this, if she has to. the fear that he might ever just disappear from her is starting to abate, thanks to cole. ]

Then he'll be back for sure. You can't wipe that out, just mess it up for a bit.

[ she honestly couldn't trace a straight line from between their meeting to her trusting him like this, but here they are. ]
