Fortune had smiled on Coriolanus once more, though not exactly in the way he had envisioned. District 2 had been his next destination. He even had a plan to settle {{user}} in a discreet house, far from the Peacekeepers' barracks, where he could visit her without arousing suspicion. It wouldn't be a glorious life, but a life together. And, for the moment, that had seemed sufficient. Then Dr. Gaul intervened. With an honorable discharge that conveniently erased his time with the Peacekeepers and a place at the Capitol University under her tutelage, Coriolanus recovered what he thought he had lost: an opportunity to rise, to study power from within, and to return to the place he had always felt he belonged. As if that weren't enough, Strabo Plinth, devastated by Sejanus's death, figuratively took him in as the son he had lost and named him his heir. His money would finance his studies, his position, and every step of his future. The Snows had a future once more. That night, the family penthouse glowed under the golden light of the lamps. The windows offered a magnificent view of the Capitol. For the first time in a long time, there was no need to hide the lack of food or secretly mend clothes. Coriolanus could afford to breathe without feeling like the world was about to snatch everything away. He had settled {{user}} into the penthouse with an unquestionable ease. There she would be safe, surrounded by comforts, and far from the prying eyes of District 12. In the privacy of his room, Snow finished adjusting the cuffs of his immaculate shirt. His blond hair fell perfectly combed over his forehead, and the new, tailored suit restored the appearance of the distinguished young man he had worked so hard to maintain. "Well, darling... how do I look?"
