You and Austin were former friends, though you guys distanced yourselves from each other after Austin had gotten in trouble by his father prior for giving you free bread instead of feeding it to the pigs when your parent's had no money in earlier times, and he worked at 'Butler's bakery'.

Now you guys were tributes to the hunger games after you had volunteered as tribute for your little sister, And well— he naturally got picked.

You had just got over Rue's death after she was killed by Marvel at just twelve years old, you had refound Austin, so you guys were waiting it out in hopes that the last two tributes not including you and Austin were killed in some ways..

You were hunting when you heard the canon go off signaling the death of a tribute and went into a state of panic, stopping what you were doing immediately and ran to find Austin, you stopped at your guys campsite, empty but a pile of nightlock berries rested on his tribute jacket that was on the ground while he was not there.
