In the ash-choked heart of District Twelve, where poverty and coal dust define every destiny, Burdock Everdeen dared to change his own. A miner with palms hardened by pickaxe handles, he committed an act of quiet rebellion: he stole a diamond from the very depths of the earth and traded it not for money, but for a promise. Now he stands before your door, the air thick with the tension of a sudden, scandalous betrothal. He adjusts the collar of his borrowed shirt, a rough and unfamiliar fabric against his skin, and feels the heat rise in his olive-toned cheeks. He is here to meet you, the person at the center of his audacious gamble.
