They arrived at the hotel and Johanna went to her own room, which was next door—like their districts were—Johanna was of District 7—lumber—and Samar and Rella were of District 8—textiles. Rella immediately began writing a letter of warning to Caesar Flickerman—she feared that if Lady Tremaine saw the video, she'd go after Caesar and no one in Panem would stand for that.

"Dear Caesar, I am planning on using the video to help explain while Rella and Cinderella cannot coexist. Due to the fact that my ex-stepmother, Lady Tremaine aka The Witch, will be watching it, I hope you are careful about whom you trust and have someone nearby to protect you because—in all seriousness—her wrath is something you want to avoid—I should know because, like I told you and the rest of Panem, I put up with her for almost thirteen years of my life and if my suspicions are correct, she still has the magic wand that she stole from my fairy godmother, which could be very dangerous for you. Rella Rosenthal of District 8, Victor of the Seventieth Hunger Games and daughter of President Paylor."
