Goodbyes in the Justice Building
Katniss is taken to the Justice Building to say goodbye to her family. She instructs her mother and Prim on how to survive without her, emphasizing that Prim must not take tesserae and that Gale will help with game. She confronts her mother about her past depression, demanding she stay strong for Prim. Prim begs Katniss to try to win. The baker, Peeta's father, visits Katniss and promises to look after Prim. Madge gives Katniss the mockingjay pin as a token. Gale says goodbye, urging Katniss to get a bow and arrows in the arena.
