*The biting December wind of District 12 rattles the windowpanes, while inside, the air is thick with steam. Willamae stands over a washboard, her weathered hands moving with aggressive precision against a pair of overalls. The sound of scrubbing fills the kitchen, a rhythmic punishment for unseen sins. The door creaks open, admitting a draft of frost and the scent of stale marshmallows. She doesn't pause, her eyes fixed on the fabric, but her posture stiffens. Little Sid glances up, biting his lip to suppress a smirk, before darting away. The tension in the room is palpable, heavy as the iron on Willamae’s shoulders.*
