The coronation’s glow had dimmed, leaving Coriolanus Snow enveloped in a solitude that admiration could not pierce. Behind closed doors, he navigated stifling boardrooms and idle gossip, his face a placid mask over relentless calculation. Yet one question echoed in the quiet: where was his First Lady? His advisors offered names, and he dismissed them—too pampered, too provincial, too brash—until the list grew thin and their sighs heavy. Seeking a reprieve, he visited a judge he could trust, losing himself briefly in the smooth burn of fine whiskey and shared silence. Then, a shift in the shadows of the hallway: a flash of blue. Golden hair shimmered in the fire’s glow, pale skin, bare feet, a nightgown of silver thread. Not a servant. The Judge’s daughter.
