can you imagine how devastated haymitch must’ve been when the undersees died? that was the last remnant, besides the mockingjay pin she hated so much, of maysilee donner, his begrudged sister. and he finds that maysilee is not the only one with bad luck, no, its her whole family. madge’s best friend was reaped, and then she died, right along with merrilee. merrilee, who was the stunning image of who maysilee would one day resemble. maysilee, who never became that and finally died with her family.
thinking about how katniss recognises merrilee when watching the recording of haymitch’s games due to her resemblance to madge; do you think that merrilee got to see maysilee grow up again through madge? do you think merrilee could barely look at madge because she was a reminder of the sister she lost? do you think merrilee saw maysilee in madge before seeing her as madge everytime she looked at her? do you think merrilee broke down when madge turned 17? because her twin never did? do you think merrilee saw madge die seconds before she herself died when district 12 got bombed? that merrilee saw both her twins die in front of her?
I have a twin sister and I say: Yes, we will always be twins
