When they pick you up to bring you back to the Capitol, they'll bring anything you have on you, so if you want to leave them your supplies in the Arena, make sure it's hidden and they know where to find it, whether you're around or not. Sam and I can't send anything that's been earmarked by your Sponsors to anyone else, but when you wake up, you're always free to support them by sending in gifts!"

Her face softens. "It's going to be okay, whether you win or not."
