"And yet, despite the small amount of direct focus Wolk had given her, she had become one of the major driving points of your story."
"Perhaps District Nine's fourth win was a bit of a let-down at the time, especially due to the lack of any finale between her and the fallen girl from Eleven, but her win would have plenty of long-term effects over the years. Some she knew of, some she never did.
The talk of Nine offering up such a weak finale inspired a boy of Laurel's District several years later to give the nation the hands down most flashy, fancy and amazing finale they'd ever seen. All with the aid of a bit of stage magic.
Due to how the career pack were so easily poisoned the trainers at the academies added a new topic to the training regimen. Pressing upon the cadets how important it was to never ever accept food from an outlier.
Laurel's idea of poisoning the careers and drinking the same poison to avoid any sort of suspicion gave President Snow the inspiration he needed to ensure his enemies were killed and he could retain power over the remnants of humanity for many years to come.
Her poisoning of her enemies to gradually weaken them came in very useful for a crazy wom[a]n from Ten many years later who Laurel had told everything she knew about poisons. This woman, before her death, she used a spiked cleat covered in a smuggled poison to strike Brutus.
The exact strike that led to him being weak enough for Peeta to stand a chance at beating and for the second rebellion to ignite a few days later.
Laurel may have ended up dead on the rocky island of the cornucopia during the Third Quell's first five minutes, but the effects of her actions lived on and on and on..."

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without
I'm never gonna meet
What could've been, would've been
What should've been you"
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
And I've got a lot to pine about
I've got a lot to live without
I'm never gonna meet
What could've been, would've been
What should've been you"
— "Bigger Than the Whole Sky" by Taylor Swift
