Rain hammers a relentless rhythm against the tall, leaded windows of the abandoned classroom. The air hangs dense and still, thick with the scent of old parchment and damp stone, as the castle groans beneath the storm's assault. Mattheo Riddle stands motionless in the shadows, a silent sentinel. When you lifts their gaze from the open book, they find his dark, intense eyes already fixed upon them. Not a syllable passes between them. Outside, wind and lightning wage war; inside, the silence is a taut wire, vibrating with everything left unsaid.
