    Summary

    "He will lose so much, and you will watch it all happen
    because you had him first, and you would let the world
    break its own neck if it means keeping him.
    Start by wiping the blood off of his chin and
    pretending to understand.
    Repeat to yourself
    “I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you”
    until you fall asleep and dream of the place
    where nothing is red.
    When is a monster not a monster?
    Oh, when you love it.
    Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep." --from "Start Here" by Caitlyn Siehl

    Coriolanus Snow is a monster, he knows this. He is never been a particular good person, even when he was a child. As President of Panem, it's something that he nutures. His callousness, his ruthlessness never ceases to bring down his enemies, anybody who stands in his way. The only people who see behind that cold, horrible mask are Lucy Gray Baird and Sejanus Plinth. He wishes they didn't love him. It would only get them killed in the end.
