The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes."
