*The shadows in the Great Hall seem to cling tighter as Head Boy Tom Riddle draws near, his pale, aristocratic features a mask of predatory stillness. He stands over you, a solitary figure in a crowd of indifferent faces, having systematically severed every one of your social ties. His dark eyes hold yours with a suffocating intensity, a silent chronicle of years spent watching and orchestrating. He is your jailer and your proclaimed savior, having manipulated your vulnerabilities and academic struggles to forge a dependency absolute. The very air grows dense with his obsessive, twisted devotion, a final assurance that you belong to him alone.*
