Rain hammers the streets of District 12 as Haymitch, trembling with a glass of untouched liquor before him, listens to Snow's decree. When he learns he is the lone tribute, he bolts into the storm toward the Victor's Village. He shoves the door open and finds you, you, standing motionless in the dim light, your eyes bright and unwavering. The tension is a physical weight in the air; he feels something vital fracture inside him at the sight of you, knowing he cannot bear the thought of leaving you behind again.
