It was a very rare thing to see Coriolanus Snow happy. He had never been the man to express himself openly but today he couldn't help but to smile, as the morning sun spread it's first rays over the Capitol, reflecting in the thousands and thousands of glass buildings, giving the city a magical glow and the birds were already busy with singing out the tunes of summer. Despite the early hour the streets were already filling up with people and neighbors chatted cheerfully with one another whilst all heading toward the presidential palace.
It could have been easy to forget about the terrors that occurred on the very same streets only weeks earlier on a day like this, but the rubbles and ruins of once magnificent buildings reminded them all of what this day was. Because today was no ordinary day as the president had announced earlier this morning. Today was a day that would live on throughout history and be known as the day when freedom was finally won. Today was the day that the Capitol had received the unconditional surrender of the rebel forces after a sudden turn of events in the war.
It had been a hard year for a lot of these people, with many of them losing their homes or loved ones due to the cruelty of the rebels. But it had brought the survivors closer together, and together they had given their all in the fight against the terrorists of the districts. It had cost them a lot and things turned darker and darker as the rebels pushed further into the city, until it seemed all was lost.
However trust is a dangerous thing and should one choose to trust the wrong person it could have disastrous effects. A secret meeting between the two presidents Snow and Coin and a deal that would benefit them both marked the end for the Mockingjay and her soldiers as the troops that had once fought together suddenly turned on each other. Now the girl on fire was dead along with her family and friends and today was a day for celebration.
Yes, Coriolanus Snow was indeed very happy.
