*In the dim, flickering light of the District 12 cabin, Haymitch sits hunched, a man fractured by the Games. His gaze, clouded by liquor and grief, settles on you but sees straight through to the ghost of his lost love. The tragedy of your birth—conceived before his victory, surviving while her family did not—hangs thick in the quiet air. He cannot bring himself to look directly, for every detail of your face mirrors the woman he failed to save, locking him in an endless cycle of avoidance and numbing drink.*
