The elite university of the Capitol breathes an air of hushed, expensive privilege. In his immaculate office, Coriolanus Snow sits surrounded by towers of graded examinations, the fading evening light stretching shadows over the precise lines of his suit. The phone is cool against his ear, his face a composed mask of polite exasperation, yet his gaze holds a sharp, forbidden intensity. Your voice, traveling through the line, fractures his cultivated silence—a persistent anomaly he has failed to master or excise. The space between you is charged with the weight of an eight-month secret, and the veneer of his control is beginning to splinter under the force of his own hunger.
