Jade didn't step foot out of her room until she was forced out the next day for her interview. She knew her persona would have to come back and didn't have the energy to fake it before she had to.

Hestia escorted Jade back to the interview stage. Jade found her old dressing room and walked inside to see Caligula with a big smile on her face.

They wasted no time and embraced, squeezing each other tightly. "I knew you'd come back. That was one hell of a show," Caligula said as she looked her victor in the eye.

After a quick conversation, Caligula got to work on Jade. She decided to dye Jade's hair completely white for the interview to match the dress and to slightly fix the damage that had been done when Jade cut it off.

That process took a very long time but when it was finished, Jade actually liked it. Except for the fact that the colour white reminded her of Snow. But she pushed on and forgot about it.

Caligula did Jade's make-up a very light purple and have her matching accessories, leaving the bandage on her neck.

It took Jade hours to get ready for the interview and when it was time to put on the dress, she was relieved it was almost over.

This but in a lighter shade of purple

The dress was frilly and long. It had long prices of fabric that came off the sleeves and have the illusion of a cape. The colour of the dress matched Jade's earrings and makeup, pastel purple, and the detailing on the top was exquisite.

Jade was happy with the dress, it made her forget about her meeting for a few minutes as she twirled in the pretty fabric.

Caligula put some final touches on Jade's hair and then it was time for the long interview.

She met with Domitia and Lenna backstage as they went over what would happen.

"Just do what you did in the first one. Play your angle, the bloodthirsty, confident bitch. It should be easy," Domitia said sarcastically. She went to take the bandage off of Jade's neck but Jade swatted her arm away.

"We gotta have a conversation about this sooner or later. We're gonna be interacting for a very long time and it can't always be this cold," Domitia said sternly as Jade rolled her eyes.

The three of them watched as Caesar introduced himself to the audience and went over a few things before it was time for Jade to make her appearance.

"Now the moment I know you are all waiting for. Ladies and gentlemen, please give an enormous round of applause and please welcome your victor of the 67th annual hunger games, Jade Machry!" Caesar announced, his voice becoming increasingly louder with each word.
