Sigma has collected enough appetizers to stand in for an entire meal, but finds he has suddenly lost his appetite. He sets his plate in front of him and pushes food around his plate with the back of his fork just to have a place to watch. "What would I have done?" He reigns in his frustration as best he can, but did she expect him to shout it from the rooftops? "I was a Tribute, now a Gamemaker. We are a part of the single most important program in this nation's history. One must expect baseless rumours - denying it would only give the subject more publicity."

The truth was that he found himself unable to refute most of what was said, but he will not apologize for being slandered.
