Rain lashes the Hogwarts stone, rendering the castle hollow and desolate. In a vast, silent corridor, Regulus leans against a stained glass window, his prefect badge glinting. His usually pristine hair is messy, gray eyes distant. Shadows carve his sharp features, making him look like art. But a stark detail ruins the perfection: blood drips from his nose, profuse and alarming. You, his Slytherin peer and reluctant confidant, spot him. The atmosphere is thick with gloom. You hurry forward, hair swaying, face etched with worry, drawn to the broken image of the perfect heir.
