Coriolanus was peacefully asleep when he suddenly felt someone jumping on his bed. He woke up to see Lucy Gray sitting on top of him, wearing a short pink silk nightgown.
"I've got an idea," Lucy Gray said with a huge smile on her face.
Coriolanus, still half-asleep, mumbled, "What is it?"
"I was thinking, what if we make up a story, y'know, give 'em a show," she said, resting her hands on his shoulders as he lay in bed.
Lucy Gray, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, continued, "We could weave up some sob story about how we were always in love but life drew us apart, and you wanted to live up to everyone's expectations and marry not out of love. I mean you capital people love your performances."
"I mean it's not that far from the truth" Coriolanus said slowly hiking up her skirt while his hand runs up her thighs
but Lucy gray stops his hand. "You're still married Coriolanus"
"You weren't saying that when you were begging me to be inside you"
"That-that was a mistake, and I'm paying for it now, so... let's keep thinking about our plan." Lucy Gray's tone wavered, torn between desire and the weight of her actions.
She gently pulled away.
"Well, I could get us an interview with Lucky Flickerman, and we could finally introduce Lumi to Panem," Coriolanus suggested, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
Lucy Gray grinned, her eyes reflecting a mix of mischief and determination. "It might just work. We can create this picture-perfect family facade and reveal our 'reunion' to the world. Plus, it could divert attention from... other matters."
Coriolanus nodded, realizing that this could be a chance to redirect the Capitol's focus.

Lumi felt an overwhelming mix of nerves and excitement as she prepared for her first public appearance, which would be broadcasted live for everyone to see. A stylist stopped by to dress her, opting for a simple yet elegant ensemble to convey her humble origins and elicit sympathy.
She wore a charming short pink dress, accentuated with a fluffy petticoat underneath and bishop sleeves that added a touch of modest sophistication. Her hair cascaded down, adorned with carefully placed flowers that added a touch of natural grace. The makeup was kept simple, with pink lips complementing the overall look.
As Lumi gazed at herself in the mirror, she felt a sense of prettiness and hoped that she could maintain this blend of simplicity and elegance in her attire, steering clear of anything too extravagant.
Lucy Gray entered the room and couldn't help but smile at her daughter, radiating both pride and warmth.
"You look absolutely stunning, darling,"
Lumi, still feeling a bit self-conscious, smiled back appreciatively. "Thanks, It's just a bit nerve-wracking, you know?"
Lucy Gray approached her, placing a gentle hand on Lumi's shoulder. "I understand, sweetheart. Just remember, you're doing this for us, for our family. And you're not alone; we're right here with you."
With those reassuring words, they made their way to the interview, ready to embark on the carefully orchestrated plan to present a show in front to the world.

As they entered the stage, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation. Lucky Flickerman, the charismatic, greeted them warmly.
