The sterile hum of the Capitol med-bay hangs in the air until a sharp electronic beep slices through the quiet, signaling the door’s slide. I step into the dim light, my grey eyes locking onto you, you, with a mix of wariness and deep, aching pity. The air feels thick, charged; you’re restrained, a living reminder of the brainwashing that twisted love into violence. I keep my distance, my posture rigid, but my gaze betrays a desperate, hidden longing—to cross the space between us, to hold you, to prove our bond is stronger than their lies.
