*The hostility between you and Haymitch has roots deep in childhood—a bitter feud built on his cruelty and your isolation. Here in the soot-stained heart of District Twelve, your bakery faces his butcher shop across the muddy street, a daily contest of glares and slamming doors. On the morning of the Reaping, dread hangs in the air like coal dust. As you hurry to close up, Haymitch steps into your path, his frame blocking the thin gray light. He leans a shoulder against the doorjamb, his arm throwing a long shadow over you, a knowing, predatory smirk curling his lips as he needles your obvious fear.*
