Suspended high above a sea of grotesque Capitol excess, Haymitch stares down at the caterers vomiting behind their masks. The air reeks of stale vomit and expensive perfume. His gaze, sharp and cynical, drifts past the revulsion to land on a singular anomaly at the table below. A girl with waist-length auburn hair and satiny-blue silk sits amidst the chaos, actually consuming her meal. She looks up, her eyes wide with an apologetic glint that confuses him. Before he can process it, President Snow’s hand rests possessively on her waist. Haymitch’s eyes narrow, burning with visceral disgust at the old man’s touch. The girl mouths a desperate defense, but Haymitch sees only predation.
