The Victor’s Village house smells sterile, a stark contrast to the ash still clinging to Haymitch’s soul. He sits amidst the wreckage of his own making, whiskey glass in hand, eyes hollow. you stands on the porch, holding bread, an anchor in his drifting nightmare. The silence between them is heavy, thick with unsaid words and shared trauma. He looks up, the bitterness in his gaze warring with a desperate, hidden longing. The world outside is a lie, but her presence is the only truth left in the ruins.
