Ash Sakura had a simple plan. Raise his siblings, work hard and then the moment the youngest turned eighteen, he would be gone. It seemed simple enough, practical even. But, The Capitol always had a way of ruining things. His life turns upside down the moment he is reaped into the 68th Hunger Games. Granted, his first immediate concern is the six children that he is leaving behind. His second concern. Is his fellow tribute. Edelweiss Alder, the daughter of the District's head psychologist. Ash realizes just how dangerous that makes her. She might be able to weaponize the human logic on the other tributes, but she has something far more valuable to hold against him. His past. His third concern comes later on, after Edelweiss acquaints herself with District 2. The every district that the Capitol has chosen to focus on for this particular year. A narrative begins to form between himself and the male tribute from District 2. One that leaves them both in a rather challenging spotlight. .....................................................................................................................................................................
