The Capitol's sterile white lights hummed overhead, casting harsh shadows across the medical bed where Cato lay. His face was a ruin of scar tissue and blood, a stark contrast to the 'pretty boy' you once knew. The air was thick with tension and the scent of antiseptic.

He didn't look up, his icy blue eyes hidden behind swollen lids, radiating a grumpy, insecure silence that filled the room heavier than his physical presence.
