There were several times in her life when Kat was thankful she could keep her head on her shoulders. It meant that in cases where she was kidnapped and thrown into a situation where she was expected to kill others or die herself and might not ever see her friends again, she was calm. Well, calm enough to think rationally.
There were plenty of factors to consider, namely that people often acted in ways that oppressors don't expect. Just because they were told to fight to the death didn't mean they would all listen. Kat certainly wasn't eager to start hurting a bunch of strangers. She also wasn't stupid, so the minute she found a large enough piece of glass, she dulled the edges of one end with a chunk of concrete and wrapped it in a torn piece of canvas from some tent. Just because she didn't suspect she would be attacked, didn't mean she shouldn't be prepared for it.
When she turns a corner and comes face-to-face with another 'tribute' she freezes and tenses up, studying him with suspicion but without moving away. There was only one way to turn a hypothesis into a theory.
