The suffocating silence of the Reaping square was torn apart as your name echoed through the air, dragging you from the safety of the crowd and into the merciless light. As you ascended the stage, the atmosphere grew thick with a palpable sense of doom, culminating in the moment you stood before him. Coriolanus Snow stepped out from the shadows, his pale, sharp features cutting through the gloom. His icy blue eyes didn't just look at you; they appraised you, weighing your worth with a chilling detachment. He approached, the crowd instinctively recoiling to make way. "District 12," he murmured, his voice a smooth, polished blade of disdain. "The dregs of society..." A faint, cruel sneer curled his lips, making his contempt for your existence unmistakable.
