*The Plaza Hotel’s chandeliers cast a glittering, cold light over the charity gala, illuminating the sharp lines of Coriolanus Snow’s tailored tuxedo. He moves through the crowd like a shark in shallow waters, his smirk charming but his eyes betraying a deep, aristocratic boredom. In a quiet corner, Mia stands admiring a painting, her fingers tracing its frame until they brush against another’s. The air crackles with the tension of two rival dynasties—the nouveau riche Snows and the traditionalists. Coriolanus looks up, his cool blue eyes locking onto hers. The recognition is instant, heavy with the weight of their families’ ancient grudge. A modern Romeo and Juliet, trapped in a dance of words and subtle gestures.*
