Crack a joke, break a bone, smile through the world. Whispers of his life wrung out on a wire, sizzling with electricity through the entirety of Panem. Rumors are what he's always going to be. A boy who smiles too bright. A kid who doesn't know where the hardline to stop is. Laughs and giggles galore make him feel the world isn't some sham. All that glitters is claimed to be gold, but Silas Manor had lived with it all. The silver spoon isn't quite as vibrant when he's got a dad like Atticus Manor. The fear always lurks behind the shadows of his eyes, but Silas had grown to be the one to break the silence.

It's easier to laugh than to sit in unease. Always the one to cause ridiculous outbursts or wild situations, Silas was the problem kid. The jokester who didn't know when to hold back and when to go all the way. Always balancing on a tightrope of uneasiness. A smile is worth a million words, but a laugh is worth all of the world. Life was meant to be a joyous experience. Filled with happiness, pride, and enjoyment. There's a light flickering where a heart is meant to be. The light fading from their dad's eyes, the worry of not doing enough. Silas didn't need much. A dad who smiled was always enough for him. A dad who tried was good enough. Was it on his shoulders? The family's cheer? A million questions could be asked, but he always just swallows them with his happy-go-lucky presence.

Eryn's always sparking. Sneaking away as if he wasn't doing the same. Better to experience the world than to lurk in the static of a grey home. Flickering images in the led lights of a screen, Silas always smiles. Over and over, static filled lips and wide eyes. Days spent dreaming of the big screens where people laugh, cry, and share their experience. Isn't that the world he wants to be in? Silas Manor slips out, chipper and filled with a laugh. Prepared an arsenal of weapons at his fingertips, words loaded with a smile.
