Atmosphere

01 - Trance Berrill
Technically, he died.
Ask the doctors, and they'll say they revived him.
Ask Trance, and he'll say it's impossible to resurrect the dead.

10 - Alpha Revere
The fact that a deluded girl gave her life for the very violence she so desperately craved does carry a bit of irony, no?

08 - Necali Reinerston
Within five years of Necali's death, his brother Laurent and eldest sister Adelphie both fight and die on Capitol soil in a vain attempt to bring honor to the Reinerston name. Only when little Alessandra remains as the sole survivor do Sasha and Opal realize that maybe - just maybe - they've wasted their children on a ridiculous and unattainable fantasy.

17 - Stellar Andrews
Despite Attrition's ardent protests, Stellar's father and mother choose to let her body remain in the Capitol. Why waste their time burying a disappointment?

05 - Zeno Atticus
It's a closed casket funeral, and no one says much.
Oddly enough, Zeno's death brings Jethro and Warrick closer as family. They could lose each other at any movement, just as they'd lost their innocent little brother. Might as well be nice to each other in the meantime.

16 - Rumor Cobalt
Her grandmother doesn't sing anymore.

12 - Nemo Dedecus
Bastard or not, Aaron Dedecus thought of Nemo as his own. He sheds his tears behind closed mahogany doors, hidden from the wife who drove their youngest son to willingly participate in a game built entirely around death.

02 -Waverly Capri
The Capitol claims that she almost won. Just a smidge from victory. But the letter her parents received from Trance Berrill during his victory tour paints a different story.
They know the truth.

11 - Dominic Monipule
They chalked his final outburst up to some sort of mental break. His mother refuses to believe that her darling son could have possibly hated everyone he'd known.

23 - Mariah Cassel
After the letter arrives at his doorstep, Mr. Cassel finds himself wondering if posthumous apologies are possible. He probably needs her forgiveness more than she ever needed his.

09 - Alder Haynes
Though his parents can't quite understand what motivated their son to sacrifice himself for the girl from Twelve, they know that he died a better person than when he was reaped.

24 - Relly Jay
Sweetest of them all and first to feel the bite of the blade. That's how it usually goes.

06 - Linden Cooper
"Pariah" doesn't even come close.

07 - Flavia Reeves
Sybilla hadn't spoken for five months when she told her sister to come home.
She's since decided that all words are worthless, no matter their meaning.

15 - Wade Odinshoot
Vibia notices her brother's absence about three weeks after the funeral, when she finds herself caught between two shipments of morphling.
But the needles arrive before the grief has time to overwhelm her, and she gratefully descends into the soft world of muted light and cold veins and muffled words, filled to the brim with easily-managed non-emotions.

13 - Erizelda Morrison
Who would miss the village slut, anyways?
Well, Xavier, for starters. Katarina, as well. (She doesn't really mind that Erizelda took the ribbon; if it brought her sister-in-law some comfort before she died, then it doesn't much matter if it was stolen, does it?)
Damian misses Erizelda too, but whenever anyone asks, he pretends not to care. It's easier than allowing himself to acknowledge the fact that she's gone and never coming back.

19 - Glen Ackerman
His elder sister earned herself an overnight stay in jail for knocking out a man who claimed that Glen's death equated to "cleansing the collective gene pool".

22 - Pagnotta Millet
Little girls die all the time in the Hunger Games.
Try telling that to her mother, father, or sister. It doesn't matter what her odds were - it matters that she's dead.

03 - Birch Styler
Sometimes, the innocent take their truth to the grave.

18 - Idrial Coven
Idrial's death finally gives Simon Coven the motivation to divorce his wife. He takes their surviving daughter to a neighborhood in a far corner of District Nine, where the old, impoverished crone cannot follow.

21 - Cascade Zephyr
His parents lost both of their children to the Games, but the district quickly moved on as if the spilled Zephyr blood held absolutely no value. Perhaps it doesn't.

14 - Selene Briony
The Sparrow flies no longer.

20 - Taun Navarro
There's something unspeakably terrible about a nation that devours its young and returns the mangled corpses to grieving parents in unmarked pine caskets.

04 - Charcoal Paxton
The day she dies, her father, mother, and brother burn the piano alongside seventy-eight pieces of sheet music. Only after three weeks of grief and self-inflicted starvation does Lena Paxton realize that maybe, just maybe, some poor kid could have loved that piano just as much as Charcoal did.
