[...Right.

Not Panem.

She needs to remember that.]


At the Academy, it's all just practice. They warn us that people sometimes freeze in the Arena, forget their training. They try to prepare us, but they can only do so much.

[A pause.]

It's a tournament, every year. One boy and one girl, age eleven to eighteen, from each of Panem's twelve districts is chosen. They are sent to the Capitol, where they are prepared for the Hunger Games. They're taken to the Arena, and, at the end of however long it takes, one person remains, and they are crowned Victor.

It is an honor to represent your district in the Games, and Victors... There's no higher aspiration than to be one of them. Not in District Two, at least.

[Some of the outlying districts might disagree, but they didn't see it like District Two did.]
