The night before the games started, when Katniss and Peeta are talking, Peeta exhibits his own hope. He makes it evident he doesn’t have any fear because he knows he is going to die anyway; but he hopes that he doesn’t conform to the version of him the Capitol desires.

This is also displayed through Rue and Katniss’s relationship; not only do they not make any attempts to kill, but they both go out of their way to protect each other.

In the games, most of the willing career participants came from the inside districts that were much more connected with the Capitol in the first place.
