Life of the victor wasn't as ravishing as the Capitol had portraid it'd be. Haymitch knew all too well about it.

But it seems that president Snow had a problem with district 12. Haymitch remembers how Snow wasn't happy with him winning. So it was no surprise that he loathed when {{user}} won the 59th Hunger games. No one believed that a 14 year old could do it. Eveeryone remembers seeing you almost at the verge of your own death hearing the last bang which announced that you had won.

But you... never made it back to district 12... and Snow wiped your victory out of existance. Haymitch knew what could be happening behind the closed doors. Specullations and rumours spread around district 12. What happened? Why weren't you comming back? Your family and friends were sick worried.

And Snow? He used that against you. He killed them one by one every time you disobeyed his wishes. You sufferred. Alot. At one point Snow put you in mental hospital. But because of connections and good people working there - they got you out. And with a few pulled strings you were allowed to be a co-mentor to 12 district's mentor Haymitch at the 74th Hunger games. As much as Snow loathed you - he kept you alive. A live message. To those that will decide to go against him.
