Beetee and Wiress tell Katniss that the Capitol leaves the control panels for their force fields in plain sight, making them vulnerable. She also meets Beetee and Wiress, older tributes from District 3 who are said to be "exceptionally smart" and adept at working with electronics. Katniss meets Finnick Odair, a 24-year-old man who successfully survived the Games at age 14, and Mags, Finnick's 80-year-old mentor, both from District 4. She is able to get over the electrified fence and back into the district, but is slightly injured.Īfter arriving at the Capitol, Katniss and Peeta look for potential allies among the other tributes. She offered them food, and they have a theory that District 13 was not wiped out by the Capitol and that its residents have gone underground. Katniss had made it into the woods where she encountered two runaways from District 8. Gale is whipped by the new Head Peacekeeper for hunting, and the fence surrounding District 12 is now constantly electrified, effectively barring Katniss from escape or hunting. After this event, District's 12's security is massively tightened, and the current Peacekeepers are replaced with stricter ones.

Back in District 12, Katniss accidentally sees a secret TV report showing a violent uprising in District 8, where many citizens are killed by Peacekeepers, Panem's security force. Despite this, Katniss learns that their attempts to subdue rebellion in the districts and convincing Snow they are in love have failed. The Capitol responds by planning an elaborate wedding ceremony for the two. Katniss urges Peeta to emphasise their supposed love and, during a televised interview, Peeta proposes to Katniss. Katniss and Peeta then travel to all twelve districts and the Capitol. However, the old man is shot dead, and the Capitol refuses to let the pair make any more personal speeches during the tour. The song prompts everyone to salute Katniss with the same gesture she used to bid farewell to Rue. When the speeches conclude, an old man whistles the tune that Rue used in the Hunger Games arena to signal Katniss she was safe.
Peeta offers to donate a portion of both his and Katniss's Victory winnings to the family of Rue, and also to that of Thresh, the other fallen District 11 tribute. During the ceremony, Katniss and Peeta deliver quick speeches to the people District 11, thanking them for their tributes. The Victory Tour's first stop is District 11, home of Rue, Katniss' former friend and ally in the 74th Hunger Games. Snow indirectly threatens both Gale's and Katniss' families. The day Katniss is due to leave, the Capitol's President Snow arrives at her home and sternly warns her that she must convince Panem's citizens that she and Peeta are truly in love their actions in the Games have sparked unrest across the districts and many believe their attempted suicide was actually a defiant act against the Capitol rather than a sacrifice for love. As part of their duties as victors of the Hunger Games, they are preparing to embark on a "Victory Tour" to all districts within Panem. Katniss struggles to understand her feelings about Peeta and her best friend, Gale, who kissed Katniss upon her return to District 12. Both of them receive considerable wealth and are living in the affluent Victor's Village of the district however, they have rarely spoken since winning the Games, as Peeta realized that Katniss's proclaimed love towards him was exaggerated at their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy's, request in order to receive life-saving gifts from sponsors. After winning the 74th Hunger Games in the previous novel, Katniss and Peeta return home to District 12, the poorest sector in the country of Panem.
