   Summary

   "Why don't we start from the beginning?"
   "Where else would we start?"
   She grins at him, rouge cheeks almost glowing. "Stories can start in all kinds of places. They can go in any kind of order, too. Just like songs."
   He watches her carefully, this relentlessly bright girl no longer in her rainbow dress. His eyes glance down to the form, blank spaces taking over most of the page. Name. District. Age. Family. It's not necessarily chronological. But her dark eyes don't look away from him, even as her grin softens.
   "Alright," he says. He steeples his hands together, and the chains rattle. "I'm Coriolanus Snow. District 12."

   (Or, the world in which Snow is a tribute instead of a mentor.)
