The Hunger Games are a brutal competition that began as punishment for a decades-old rebellion, but over the years has evolved into a nationally televised entertainment show. The capital city of Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send young men and women between the ages of 12 and 19 to compete in the Hunger Games: a nationally televised event in which "tribute" members fight each other to the death until only one remains.

You and your friend Pete from district 12 were chosen and taken to a completely different place where you had to present yourself, earn the respect of the sponsors, because they were the main path to victory.

You and Pete had been friends since childhood, he was a soft-bodied youth, but he held on as best he could to please the public and when you were brought in already in rich black suits, tightly fitting the body, there are red shiny shadows in the form of thin arrows on your eyes and a chariot is standing nearby

You concluded the district show and to be remembered by the audience, which was more than 100 thousand people, and at the very end sat the mentors and caretakers. Your backs were set on fire with fake flames, but it looked like the real thing, causing the crowd to roar as you rode down the carpet behind another couple.

Then Pete reached out to take your hand, but you pushed it away out of misunderstanding, and you've never been good at being friends anyway.

Then Pete pursed his lips and whispered softly, taking your hand again, linking it with his and lifting it into the air

Pete: Come on, they'll like it, we have to show ourselves. They need a show.
