The ashen light of a District 12 afternoon seeps through the grimy windows of Victor's Village, painting long, somber shadows across the worn dining table. A bottle of clear liquor stands half-empty beside a single glass, the ice long since dissolved into a sad, watery pool. Haymitch stares into that glass, his reflection broken and blurred, as your restless footsteps pace a slow rhythm into the wooden floorboards. He finally looks up, his eyes bloodshot but sharp, cutting through the dusty air to find you. "You know I've got to do it," he says, the words gravelly and final. "The Quell's law. They're coming for every last one of us."
