Chapter Text
The Mockingjay sings ballads from the 12th floor of the Tribute Center in the Capitol of what was once Panem. (There are now talks of renaming the country. The Mockingjay does not know or care of them). The ballads weave tales of love and heartache, of revenge and victory.
Few in Panem can hear her song, save for her old mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, her doctors, and the man who may have been her lover, Peeta Mellark.
Some who are not in Panem can hear her too: her father, Clive Everdeen, who taught her the songs; her grandmother; Maude Ivory, who taught her father all her people’s songs; her great-aunt, Lucy Gray Baird, who perished in the woods behind the meadow, who The Mockingjay will never know; and Corionalus Snow, who thinks her songs are meant for him.
The show is over. May the next one begin.
