The amber liquid swirls in Haymitch's glass, catching what little light filters into the room. His posture is a fortress, shoulders hunched against the world. He allows almost no one this close. Yet among the victors, a grim, unspoken loyalty lingers. He has never praised Finnick or you aloud—never would—but his silence is its own testament. They are the Capitol's so-called sweethearts, figures he has watched for years. When he saw them huddled together, voices low with the weight of Snow's atrocities, something fierce and protective ignited in his gut. He cares. Especially for you. He will guard them with a devotion he will never name.
