#capitol

These rooms... are all gone. Including the plaque.

What plaque?

This plaque...

and it's all gone...

I wanted to draw Katniss's prep team from the Hunger Games books, as they were kinda only vaguely there in the movies.

Look under the cut for the closeups (click on them!!)

Yet, when asked in Mockingjay if there should be a symbolic Hunger Games with Capitol children, he looked to Katniss. He saw her gazing at the rose, the symbol of the Snow dynasty, and he understood.

He understood what she saw in the rose; that Snow’s legacy would live on through Coin if nothing was done. He understood that Katniss rightfully blamed District 13 for Prim’s death.

When Katniss voted “yes… for Prim”, Haymitch perceived Katniss’s thoughts with absolute precision, as always. He did NOT vote “yes” - he voted “with the Mockingjay”.

Haymitch was giving Katniss permission to kill Coin, relinquishing the just retribution the old man deserved in order to prevent Snow’s replica, Coin, from rising from the ashes of the Capitol. After 25 years of agony caused by Snow’s direct interference, Haymitch put aside his personal vendetta against the former to place Katniss in the position where she could kill Coin instead.

When Katniss’s arrow found its target that day, Haymitch had seen it coming, because she was just like him.
