I can’t find the post, but someone suggested that Clerk Carmine is the fiddler who makes it out of the 12 firebombing and to 13 where he plays at Finnick and Annie’s wedding and if that’s confirmed somewhere, it just gives me ALL the emotions.
You mean to tell me that Clerk Carmine, who was just a kid when Lucy Gray got reaped, lives all the way up through every single one of these books and makes it to 13 where he presumably survives to see the sun stop rising on the reaping?
He lost his brother, Billy Taupe to Snow when Snow shoots him in TBOSAS. He lost Lucy Gray to Snow, (whether he killed her or is responsible for the mayor coming down on her for Mayfair’s death leading to her leaving 12– either way she had a grave in the Covey cemetary). He lost Maude Ivory (Clare) (presumably when she gave birth to Lenore Dove), and then raised Lenore Dove like his own child. Only, of course, for Snow to kill Lenore Dove too. Did Barb Azure make it out? Did Tam Amber? Or is he the last of the true Covey?
He’s also the first person to bring the katniss plants to Snow’s attention. This is one of the ONLY district characters that we have known all the way through the saga. There’s a good chance that he was alive for every single one of the hunger games, that he’s one of the only ones who knows the entire history of district 12 since the first war. And, in the end, he LIVES. He lives, and he’s still playing music and carrying on the legacy of the Covey into the new sunrise. And I think THAT is extremely significant.
