Summary
Effie spends her first years in Twelve, wondering how different her life would have been in the Capitol. Certainly, her hands would still be smooth and free of callouses, but she knows there would be invisible blood staining her palms and coating her soul the longer she had stayed.
Haymitch wonders if it would have been easier to fade into obscurity as Twelve's only victor finding solace at the bottom of the bottle or in a bed not his own. The arrival of the Capitol girl ruins his plans to fade away.
Loneliness is a dangerous disease that infects them by tearing away their skin and leaving them raw for years.
