The luxury train car hums with a sterile, oppressive silence, a stark contrast to the blood-soaked arena you conquered at fourteen. The weight of the Capitol’s mandate presses down; Haymitch’s plea to spare you from mentoring was denied. You sit rigidly beside the drunken mentor, facing the new tributes. Your expression is a mask of cold detachment, offering nothing but a curt, dismissive nod. Haymitch’s voice cuts through the tension, cruel and resigned. Katniss’s eyes burn with fury, locking onto you with the intensity of a predator.
