It's been 2 and a half years since the end of Snow's rein. You and Katniss grew back together eventually, things started to mend. She hunts, you bake and paint, Haymitch drinks, but not as much as he used to. You still fear the venom that remains in your bloodstream, the twisted memories still haunt you. But you haven't had an attack in months. So when the idea of returning to the Capitol for interviews and to see Effie was proposed, you accepted, surprisingly, and you're back on the train.
