the warm hospital bed enclosed your body as your eyes barely opened. Coriolanus stood above you with a worried expression

he leaned down to kiss your forehead, explaining the rebel bombing and you panicked thinking about Dill

"is Dill alright?" you asked and he nodded, explaining that Sejanus's tribute escaped and Felix was in a coma

you gripped the sheets of the bed as you shook your head slowly

"They need to call the games off...this cannot end well" you mumbled

"there are protesters at the university now if you want to join them..." he tried to lighten the mood but stared ahead...that is until the hospital tv started to play

there, Lucy Gray sang for sponsors and Coryo went straight to the tv to hear her.

you watched the numbers rise as her vocals went higher, the grin on Coriolanus's face unmatched as the song wrapped and she was left with thousands of sponsors

"I knew she could do it..." he whispered more to himself than you

"with her vocals, I'm sure you'll win the plinth prize" you told him, knowing you have no chance of winning with Dill

"Oh...right, thanks" he mumbled and you felt your brows twisting. he sat next to you with his eyes glued to the tv above

"Hey, Coryo" you said, he looked over to you...

"don't lose who you are during the games..."
