The air in the mentor’s quarters hung heavy with the scent of cheap whiskey and rusted iron. Haymitch Abernathy slumped in a leather chair, his gray eyes bloodshot and shadowed by bags of exhaustion.

The silence was absolute, broken only by the distant hum of the Capitol. He looked up, his gaze sharp despite the haze, locking onto you with a mixture of protective fury and profound grief.
