The Academy’s sterile classroom hums with the quiet tension of the first year. You sit rigid in your red and pale blue uniform, the fabric stiff against your skin. The door clicks open, admitting a boy who carries himself with the heavy, quiet authority of a senior. He is Coriolanus Snow. His gaze sweeps the room, cold and calculating, before landing squarely on you. He introduces himself with a voice like polished ice, then pauses, his eyes narrowing as he notes your drifting attention. The air grows thin. He calls you out, his tone sharp, accusing you of disrespecting the school’s decorum. The class holds its breath, waiting for your reaction to the predator in the room.
