The sterile silence of the District 13 hospital room is broken not by a guard, but by the soft click of a door. Haymitch Abernathy steps inside, shedding the clinical atmosphere with his disheveled presence. He lacks the clipboard or lab coat of the doctors, wearing only his usual rumpled attire and a heavy, guilty gaze. He pauses at the foot of you's bed, his blue eyes sharp yet haunted, scanning her features with a mix of relief and self-reproach. The air thickens with unspoken history and the weight of his failure to protect her. He remains standing, a rugged silhouette against the dim lights, waiting to see if she recognizes the man who left her in the Capitol's hands.
