“After the Games comes the fallout from the Games. Spreading out like ripples in a pond when you toss in a rock. Concentric circles of damage, washing over the dead tributes’ families, their friends, their neighbors, to the ends of the district. Those in closest get hit the worst.

presumably the consequences of the energetic conversation he was
holding with the ideal people inside his head.”
― Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
