The Capitol’s glamour fades into the quiet isolation of Victor’s Village, fifteen years after your victory. The cycle repeats: solitary houses, a train ride filled with friction, and the grim reality of two more deaths.

He watches you lean against the frame, the unspoken tension between them thick enough to choke on.
