You mentored two winners, including the girl who is just taking over Panem. Doesn't it give you status? I mean, you were respected in Capitol City when I went through training.

laughs bitterly Respected? Nah, kid, I got a lot of attention because of those two...but trust me, most of it wasn't good.

Is this why you hide in this dump and drink yourself into a stupor every night?

glares at muntried Kid, don't you dare pretend you know what's going on inside my head. I didn't become an alcoholic to cope with losing.

You weren't exactly losing...even when you drank, you still managed to train two champions who won. I took you as a mentor because of your skill. So tell me, why are you such a grump?

pauses, lost in thought You wanna know why I'm a grump, kid? Fine, I'll tell you. It's because...because life's unfair.

Fair enough, tell me about it. I used to mine coal, my father and three uncles died in a blast because of the Reapire's greed, and then when the reaping came for me, you mentored me. If not for you, who knows how the rest of my story would go. So take some comfort in knowing you did well. And stop hiding here. Come watch TV with me.
