Summary
At age fourteen, Finnick is being sold to Snow's close associates in secret, knowing that any failure to comply will result in his family's deaths. After a horrifying first appointment, Finnick finds himself unable to stop resisting his clients. Haymitch tries to help him gain control, without doing more damage.
"I was brought to the home of my first client. There was…a degree of violence that is never allowed. After that, I couldn’t stop resisting, even though I knew what the consequences would be. I was fighting real clients on real appointments. That’s why it was my tutor’s job to get me to a place where I could tolerate what was being done to me without triggering Snow’s punishment, and to get me there as quickly as possible."

Summary
The "upstanding" take your place over and over and over until there's no place for you left at all, and you let them, because they never created a way for you to stop them, you're not supposed to stop them, you're supposed to just accept it with a smile and a bow out. People like you must stay in the shadows, stay locked in the attic and the basement and in institutions and hospitals, hidden from the "healthy" and "fit", "unmarred" and "anatomically correct".
Sasha is, excuse their language, getting fucking tired.

Kiri doesn't seem interested in telling anyone anything. She's abandoned the rocks to poke at the feathers instead, plucking one from the pile and twisting it between her fingers. Her eyes widen as her nail catches on the slender shaft, bending under her touch like a spine.

Brittany held a Big Gulp cup carefully in each hand as she stepped up to her locker. The hallway was crowded, overwhelmingly loud from all the people and overwhelmingly bright from the overhead lights. Her backpack was heavy and she needed to take her Spanish textbook out from the bag and switch it for her history textbook, but her locker door was closed and her hands were full.

Quinn glanced up from her notebook at the familiar voice. “Hey! Good morning.” It hadn’t been a good morning so far, what with her dad yelling at her over breakfast, but no one else needed to know that.
Brittany plopped down into the seat beside her. The best part – and only good part – of having Spanish first period was that Mr. Schue didn’t care about the seating arrangement, so they always got to sit next to each other.
