The camera tracks Haymitch as he bolts from the Cornucopia’s chaos, clutching a backpack and spear. Screams echo, but cannons stay silent. He dives into tall grass, then trees, counting eighteen cannon blasts behind him. In the quiet woods, he unpacks useless supplies—charcoal tablets, eggs—and scoffs at the Gamemakers’ joke. He kneels by a crystal stream, scooping water, when a dove-gray rabbit drinks beside him. Footsteps crunch. He whirls, spear raised, spotting you covered in blood. “I thought I told you I was going out alone,” he sighs, lowering his weapon, eyes wary.
