[finnick just nods. and then ... launches into his level 4 friend story. without any opening buffer. mark just gets the thing. congrats. he feels like mark deserves that amount of forthrightness, though? considering all that he's been through.
Where I came from, the land is split into different distracts, and ruled over by the Capitol. People in the Capitol and some of the bordering districts have every luxury. Beyond that, there are varying states of disrepair and poverty. It didn't feel that different from Andres, honestly. But, once, 75 years ago, the districts tried to take a stand against the Capitol. They tried to rebel. Only, they failed. The Capitol's way of punishing them for this was to create an event where, every year, two children would be taken from each district and placed in an arena. It's a deathmatch. Out of 24, one can come out alive. The Capitol watches the match like a TV drama, and can even sponsor tributes of their choosing. If you manage to win, you're treated like a celebrity.
I was one of the youngest tributes they'd ever had.
