On his last night in the Capitol, he found his thoughts returning to District Five. To the rundown house he shared with his sister. To the badly weathered gravestones of his parents. To the dull grey power plants that constantly loomed on the smoggy horizon.
He thought of how his schoolmates and teachers constantly looked down on him for being a cretin. How even his own sister treated him like a burden, an unwanted pet.
He gripped his pillow tightly. Tomorrow, he'll show them that he's not as useless as they make him out to be. He'll show them all.
