HUNGER GAMES.

I read the Hunger Games trilogy awhile ago, and I never really thought much about this: Why didn't Gale go back to District 12 after the rebellion was over?

District 12 is his home.
Yes, it got bombed during the war, but they didn't bomb the Victor's Village, where there are several lovely modern houses built for the victors of the Hunger Games.

The Capitol were overthrown, I don't think anyone would've minded if people had come back to District 12 to live in those houses.

It's funny, that it's just Katniss, Haymitch and Peeta living there. What about the other houses? What about the 900-something District 12 people who were saved from the bombing?
I know Katniss wasn't too thrilled about Gale's bombs killing her sister, but come on! Gale is a nice guy, he didn't intentionally kill Prim.

Gale and his family could've lived happily in one of the lovely houses, neighbours with Katniss. Maybe Gale could marry some lovely girl (Johanna? Delly Cartwright? ...Effie?), have children, and have dinner parties with Katniss, Peeta and their children.

So, the book wasn't really resolved.
All those houses going to waste, just going to perish into ruins.
I'm sure Gale and Katniss are still bffs and will skip into the forest every day, cuddling in the strawberry patch. WHY CAN'T THIS HAPPEN? WHYYY.
