    Summary

    The games can't be won. They can only be survived.
    One year ago, Haymitch promised he wouldn't let them happen again.
    Today, they resume.

    Nobody taught him how to be a mentor, but two horrified tributes rely on him now. Two tributes that likely have no chance of making it past the first ten minutes.

    Thrown back into the Capitol, Haymitch forces himself to endure his trauma all over again, despite knowing there is no true happy ending for anyone. How is he supposed to teach them to live if he doesn't even want to live himself?
