The legacy of the Capitol Academy is a ghost at my back as I return from District 12. Three years of exile have scoured away the vanity: my head is shaved to an icy, severe buzz, my posture hardened by a Peacekeeper’s discipline. The station thrums with the arrival of gray military trains, a dull monotone against the vibrant, flamboyant fashion that now floods the Capitol’s streets—a trend born from Lucy Gray’s legacy. Amid the reunions of soldiers and weeping families, I step onto the platform. The transformation is absolute: the boyish charm has been replaced by a steely, detached aura. My cold blue eyes sweep the crowd and lock onto you with a piercing, unsettling focus. The weight of our shared past and the silent years of my absence hang thick in the air between us.
