    Summary

    Sejanus had made a point of never begging his father for anything.

    His father who had worked tirelessly to assimilate him to life in the Capitol, to completely erase any last trace of his identity from District Two, to mold him into a son he could be proud to call his own. And Sejanus had fought back every step of the way. He had never wanted to lose his humanity, but that was a wish his father did not seem to share or even respect.

    Anything to get ahead, that was Strabo Plinth’s way.

    Sejanus had made a point of never begging his father for anything, but he was begging now.

    Begging for the one person he would burn down the walls of his own dignity to save.

    “You have to help him.”

    Summary

    The Academy taught them many things, but rebellious thinking wasn't one of them.

    Or: Sejanus fell first, Coriolanus fell harder.

    Coriolanus was strong. He was resilient in the face of adversity, strong in wit, and knew who he was and his purpose in life. He was sure of everything. He was even sure of his friendship with one Sejanus Plinth. Coriolanus would discover that he vastly underestimated Sejanus Plinth's power over him.

    Summary

    'He was still lying on Sejanus. Why was it Sejanus? Had Lucy Gray not offered? Or had Sejanus insisted?

    Then it occurred to him, slow, his mind was his greatest asset and now it was slow– it occurred to him the helplessness of his position, the dependence, the way whatever game was being played between Lucy Gray and Sejanus it was Coriolanus, now, who was a piece in it.'

    District 13, the Snows' fallen kingdom, takes a less isolationist approach and ventures into 12 to save the rebels from themselves. Coriolanus, injured in the escape attempt, has no choice but to follow Lucy Gray and Sejanus to 13, bringing the secrets of his betrayal into the district's military underworld.

    Summary

    carmen's bed is a mess, and he speaks of his bed the way he speaks of his heart - lonely. he'll make it, for her, clear some space, change the sheets, vacuum the cigarette ashes out of the creases in the mattress. let her bring her blanket. make herself at home. she lives there between heartbeats.

    he might love her, no, he does, but anxiety and excitement are interchangeable to his body. everyone leaves anyway, so what's the fucking point of it all?
