It’s time to sound the cannons one last time, Hunger Games fans — the final movie is almost upon us. Mockingjay — Part 2 hits theaters later this month, and even though there won’t be any arena battles, there will definitely be plenty of danger and death in the series’ final installment.

To prepare for the epic finale, we took a moment to think back about all of the fallen characters in the past three movies. In honor of all of those who died to keep Katniss and Peeta alive, we’ve ranked the Top 9 most devastating deaths by how hard we sobbed.

Grab some tissues, guys, and remember, if you haven't seen the previous three movies yet, there are major spoilers ahead.

9. Foxface

Foxface came very close to winning the games, but Nightlock Berries were her downfall. She had to go, and hopefully it wasn’t too painful.

8. The Morphling who sacrificed herself for Peeta

Those scary baboons would have straight-up murdered Peeta if it wasn’t for her. Wish we knew her name.

7. Seneca Crane

Yes, he did a lot of terrible things, but did he deserve to die? Probably not. Maybe he would have overthrown Snow eventually…

6. Thresh

We knew all along that Thresh had to die in order to keep Katniss and Peeta from dying, but he was still Rue’s bud.

5. The old man from District 11

Remember the sweet old man who whistled and saluted with his fingers, then was dragged away and shot in front of Katniss and Peeta? Still not over this one.

4. Wiress

It’s best not to get attached to characters in The Hunger Games, but Wiress’ scattered personality made her endearing and we wish she didn’t have to go.

3. Mags

She was one of the bravest (and oldest) tributes, and she got some from Finnick before she disappeared into that terrifying acid smoke.

2. Cinna

Knowing that Katniss could only watch him get dragged away to his death and do nothing about it was the hardest part. He lives on in our hearts.

1. Rue

Still crying over this scene. It isn’t fair. It just isn’t fair. Let’s all whistle and sob together, shall we?
