Though she has won the Games and secured a lifetime supply of food and wealth for her mother and Prim, she still feels the need to protect them, as is demonstrated when she lies to her mother about the true purpose of President Snow's visit. Katniss' hatred of the Capitol grows stronger throughout this chapter as she is determined to survive yet another one of President Snow's "games." Just as Katniss' motivation to win the Games derived from Prim, her family remains her main concern. Katniss realizes she will have to marry Peeta in order to keep her and Gale's families alive. Every year when Katniss and Peeta mentor for the Games, their romance and lives will be revisited. Haymitch tells her she not only has to get through the Tour, but she must pretend to be happy and be a model Games victor for the rest of her life. Katniss is touched by his effort to protect her.Īfter the group says their goodbyes and boards the train for their Tour, Katniss tells Haymitch about Snow's threats to her and her family. Peeta, though he is still hurt by Katniss' feigned affections for him, won't expose her secret in front of all Panem. She and Peeta embrace and share a romantic but playful kiss - their first in many months. Remembering Snow's words, Katniss puts on a happy face for the cameras. Once deemed presentable by the team, Katniss joins Cinna in the living room, where she stops herself from telling him about her visit with Snow.Įffie Trinket, the escort assigned to District 12, guides Katniss outside so that she and Peeta can greet each other to kick off the Victory Tour. Venia, Octavia, and Flavius, all members of her Victory Tour prep team, arrive and chastise Katniss for not taking better care of her physical appearance leading up to the Tour. She determines that Haymitch is the only person she can tell the truth to because she trusts him. Unwilling to tell her mother the true nature of Snow's visit, Katniss lies and says President Snow always pays a visit to each victor to wish them luck, but it isn't televised, which explains why they weren't expecting his visit. After meeting with President Snow, Katniss concludes that she cannot fail in convincing Panem of her love for Peeta or all her loved ones will suffer.
