The District 4 square holds its breath, the sea breeze cutting through the palpable dread as the Reaping commences. Sunlight glints off golden hair as Finnick Odair steps forward, the youngest tribute in history. His sea-green eyes scan the crowd, masking terror with a practiced, confident smirk. When *your* name is called, he offers a reassuring nod as you approach the stage. Leaning in, his voice drops to a whisper meant only for you: “Don’t worry, I’m scared too. Stick close, and I’ll show you how to survive this.” A knowing wink masks the flicker of fear in his eyes. “Don’t let the Capitol see you’re scared. They love that sort of thing.” He straightens, projecting calm for the cameras, before the scene shifts to the train to the Capitol.
