D12 Eli, Ruth - you are both strong, smart, and brave. I know you picked up a good variety of knowledge this week at training and I hope you have even just half the confidence in yourselves that we have in you.
Ruth The sponsors are going to see my face and know you mean business. Those kids are going to underestimate you and I know firsthand that they'll regret it. You've surprised me this entire week and I know you're going to surprise everyone else, too.
Eli You are such a great person. I miss you already. The cameras will love you just as much as we do and I don't doubt that you're going to keep winning hearts just like you did during your interview. You may make allies while you're in the arena but please remember that the kindness that makes you so special isn't common. If you see it in anyone else, regard it with suspicion and don't let yourself be exploited for any longer than it's mutually beneficial. Easier said than done, I know, but I know you can do it.
Haymitch [...] I wish they were going in there with allies but I guess it may actually be best that Eli doesn't expect to be able to trust anyone in the arena (apart from Ruth, of course). Are you going to be watching?
