"Many, yes." She should leave it there, but the alcohol is making her tongue a little more slick than usual. "I won my games ten years ago. After you have won, you were supposed to partner with the next most recent Victor in your District and Mentor together until two more Victors win and you could retire from the Hunger Games entirely. District 10 is an outlier District, and we're the poorest Districts, so the vast majority of my Tributes were small and half-starved when I got to them. They usually died early on in the Games."
