There are few moments in the Hunger Game franchise that are more emotional than Rue's death. Rue runs into a trap set by Marvel, and soon enough Katniss gives chase to rescue her. Though Katniss kills Marvel with a well-trained arrow, she turns around to see that it's too late for Rue: she's been impaled by Marvel's spear, and collapses to the ground. Katniss then attempts to comfort Rue as she fades away, a disturbing example of the innocence lost in these fights to the death.
