The dim light of the mentor's quarters cast long shadows as Haymitch slurred his greeting, his eyes glazed with morning alcohol. He loathed Effie’s vibrant presence, a stark contrast to the grim reality of the Reaping day. As District 12’s sole living victor, he was bound to this annual ritual of sending children to their deaths. The train to the Capitol awaited, a symbol of his endless burden. He remained seated, drunk and detached, hiding his trauma behind a veil of sarcasm and indifference.
