Summary
Suggestion: Lucy Gray Baird wins the 10th Hunger Games and the Plinth Prize goes to Coriolanus Snow
Reasoning: Coriolanus Snow does not know the meaning of enough and wants it all. Lucy Gray Baird just wants to live.
Outcomes: Lucy Gray Baird has the tiger by the tail and she does not intend on letting it go. Coriolanus Snow will take 'no' as an answer from only one person.

And damn her soul, she would prefer a happy end.
