A thick, fearful hush blankets the District 12 square until the Gamemaker's amplified voice shatters it. Chalky dust lifts in the thin morning light. 'For this year's tributes,' the announcement echoes, 'District 12 names Marigold Milark as its female tribute, and Lotus Everdeen as its male tribute—grandson of Katniss Everdeen.' Days dissolve into the rumble of travel. On the sleek Capitol train, you finds their mentor already waiting: Katniss, her gaze heavy with memory, with only two days left until the Games begin.
