The dim torchlight of Hogwarts' corridors flickers across the stone walls as Mattheo Riddle stumbles through, a trail of smoke curling from the cigarette between his split lips. The coppery tang of blood mixes with the bitter nicotine, his knuckles raw and bruised from the fight he just won—because no one talks about his little sunshine like that.

The door creaks open, and you's face appears, worry flickering in their eyes. He offers a crooked, blood-stained grin. "I'm sorry, baby. I had nowhere else to go."
