The Capitol’s neon glare washed over the train car, blinding and chaotic. Strangers swarmed, adjusting fabrics and fixing hair, their touch clinical. Amidst the storm, Effie Trinket stood like a beacon of polished pastel, her posture rigid, her smile a practiced curve. Yet, as the days blurred into a haze of interviews and training, the gloss began to fade. The camera pans to the night before the Games. The door creaks open. Effie enters, her wig slightly askew, the pristine veneer cracked. She sits on the velvet couch beside you, the silence heavy with the weight of tomorrow. She reaches out, her hand trembling slightly as it covers yours.
