Acee Hal POV
Electra was a wasted opportunity. She wasn't the disappointment. She was smart and resourceful and a lovely girl. It was her parents I was disappointed by. They could have nurtured her and grown her into a confident, indispensable citizen of Three. Instead they cut her down until her body couldn't support the mind within. I didn't know what DeMarcus' family was like, but someone failed him as well. I could see how much he wanted to be liked and to be part of a group. Someone as strong as him could have been a gang kingpin, but he only fought to protect himself. He didn't fit in among the eggheads of Three, but if they'd broadened their definition of intelligence, they could have found themselves a lifelong friend.
District Three
Mrs. Magneta was barely affected, of course. She shrugged her shoulders and said she'd always known her daughter was useless. Synthi was the one that felt Electra's loss, but she got lucky in the end. Some parents switched targets when their abused child died or grew up. Mrs. Magneta just continued her careless neglect with Synthi.
The Kings didn't know what to do with Demarcus' things at first. He didn't have any friends to give them away to. The empty room tormented them until they decided to fill it up. They took in a boy much too young to join the gang he kept petitioning. It was a dream come true for him and though things didn't always go smoothly, he loved his new family and adored the brother he never got to know.

Second was the nightmare of every mentor. At that point it's impossible not to hope. I could understand how some mentors preferred to exit the scene through alcohol or morphling if their Tribute got into the top five. It was easier when they died in the Bloodbath, like Ash. Even if he'd won, the Capitol would have beaten the rebellion out of him. This way he reminded everyone it would always remain.
Worst of all was the pure luck. It could have been Des. One more day in the area, a hatchet wound one inch deeper. It could have gone either way. The Capitol decided life and death on the toss of a coin.
District Seven
We all knew Ash would end up that way sooner or later. He'd have preferred that over public hanging with a hood covering up his defiant last words. As for the Redwoods, they faced it with quiet dignity and sad humor. When Careen came through on her Victory tour, Malthus gave her a hug. He thanked her for not letting a guy kill his sister and said at least her last sight was one more beautiful girl.
I think that's all I missed. If there's more I'll add them.
