Haymitch also still believes that he will reunite with Lenore Dove in the afterlife , and still " sees " her over the years . Notably , he does n’t depict her as a ghost of her teenage self , but aging with him .

There ’s a mass to unpack after the ending of The Hunger Games : Sunrise on the Reaping , but the prequel ’s final chapter are amazingly hopeful .

Adapting this epilogue inSunrise on the Reapingis manifestly a born way of life for Woody Harrelson to return , and also may warrant ramble an older variant of Lenore Dove . I at least desire it could make for a peaceful , somewhat well-chosen ending to show them reunite as adults through a dream or death , after what will be a horrific movie . In the Bible , Collins complete Haymitch ’s arc dead by delineate Haymitch ’s kinship with Katniss and Peeta from his perspective , and his statement that he never really lost his love .
