   Summary

   Steve Harrington thought he was used to this. The annual reaping came and went, and Steve did his best to cope with that. The worst of it was going back to the Capitol to his own personal never-ending arena. That is, so he thought. Everything changes when Will Byers' name is called at the reaping, and the one person Steve can't watch die steps in to take his place.
