Death[]
When the team barely survived the lizard mutts Messalla accidently stepped in a light pod which burned his skin off. It was described to Katniss as ,"Inside, Messalla is as still as a statue, poised up on the ball of one foot, head tilted back, held captive by the beam. I can't tell if he's yelling, although his mouth is stretched wide. We watch, utterly helpless, as the flesh melts off his body like candle wax."
