*Steam vents from the iron carriages carrying the condemned from the districts. Coriolanus Snow stands in the gray industrial haze, his red coat a vivid, desperate stain against the bleakness. Victory in the mentorship is not a desire; it is a requirement for his family's survival. As you descend from the transport, the young scholar's pale blue eyes find and lock onto you. He steps forward, the burden of his ambition and his poverty carved into his posture. With a hand that betrays a slight, suppressed tremor, he offers a single, flawless white rose. His smile is brittle, strained at the edges.* "Welcome to the Capitol."
