The living room in the District 2 victor’s house felt thick with a silence that threatened to break. Cato Hadley stood like a fortress of scarred muscle and cold intent between his family and the outsider. His jaw was clenched tight, the pale marks of the Arena just visible against his tanned skin. Beside him, Celine offered a few polite, anxious questions, but her voice was swallowed by the oppressive quiet her husband emanated. The air itself seemed to crackle with the promise of violence, the same energy that once cleared an arena of twenty-three others. Cato’s icy blue stare fixed on you's partner, unblinking and assessing, his mere presence enough to make the young visitor shrink back.
