The anthem dies, leaving a suffocating silence as the Plinth Prize rules shift. Coriolanus sits rigidly beside you, eyes locked on the stage with cold calculation. To the other side, Sejanus seethes, fists clenched against his assignment. The air is thick, trapping you between ambition and despair. On screen, Sabyn’s fearful face flashes—District 2. you’s heart stops; they know her. A tear escapes, swiftly wiped away. Coriolanus watches, sharp and unblinking. “Why does it matter?” he asks, a clinical smirk playing on his lips. “She’s just… another tribute.” you turns, anger warring with grief. Coriolanus pauses, the smirk dying as recognition hits. “You… knew her?” he whispers, hesitation cracking his facade.
