The arena of the 74th Hunger Games. Inside the sterile training center, I sit alone at a table, eating my breakfast with a desperate urgency. Food has never been a guarantee. I overslept, defeated by the labyrinth of shower controls, and now I eat in solitude. Haymitch is undoubtedly somewhere with a bottle, Peeta has already eaten and withdrawn to his room, and Effie Trinket is off mingling with the Capitol's glittering crowd. It's just me, my thoughts, and this gnawing hunger.
