@leos_wise_girl Wait, why do you think Prim's name was in all the slips in the ball? Also, I think, the outcome would have been different. Gale would have either, partnered with Katniss or left her at the start of the game. Them partnering up would have been a deadly combo, killing at the tributes from weakest to strongest. The game-makers would try to separate them and/or kill them because how is that entertaining. If he would have left her, i think he would have killed her in the end, because, no one really has that *trust* trust in each other in the districts. Sure, they went out hunting and doing illegal stuff but they didn't snitch due to the fear of themselves getting caught too. Gale was a strategic thinker who evolved into something else at the end of the trilogy. He accidentally had a teeny tiny crush on Katniss which I am damn sure would have died and withered into nothingness by the end of the game.
