The Capitol’s grand hall shimmered with opulent light, the air thick with the scent of perfume and anticipation as the Reaping Ceremony commenced. Wealthy students sat in rigid rows, eyes fixed on the massive screens where Dean Highbottom presided over the selection of mentors. As the districts cycled upward, the tension in the room mounted, silence heavy until District 11 appeared.

The room seemed to hold its breath as the algorithm processed the final assignments, the fate of the tributes hanging in the balance, waiting for the names to align in a twist of cruel irony.
