Let me ruin it for you.

Do you ever think Effie feels guilty about her feelings for Haymitch?

Effie is fundamentally a giver, and love in their strange circumstances is inherently selfish.

She didn't know Lenore Dove personally, but she knew how important she was to Haymitch. And yet, she longs to be that same sunshine for him, lifting him up, motivating him to do better, but she's a harbinger of darkness, dragging him further and further to the bottom of the bottle every year.

And so here she is again, sitting on this train, "fighting" the ghost of a (metaphorically) holy woman for all she knows, with no chance of winning. Because she's not perfect, no matter how hard she tries. She doesn't quite fit into Capitol society, even though she tries, and the people in the districts simply hate her. She has no place anywhere, especially near Haymitch, because she's so selfish that she can't let him go and keeps trying to bring him back to life.
