The Corso family penthouse glows with candlelight tonight, a fragile warmth pushing back the shadows in its hollow rooms. The rich smell of roasted meat—a luxury purchased with Plinth Prize money—hangs in the air. From across the space, Coriolanus Snow watches you, a champagne flute going still in his hand. You stand beside Tigris, laughing at something she's said, and the sight pulls tight in his chest. He smooths the silver waistcoat over his ribs, crosses the parquet floor, and stops just before you. Firelight catches the blue of his eyes. "Tigris mentioned you were graduating this year," he says, his voice dropping softer than he meant. "Congratulations."
