The air in the lavish Capitol suite was heavy with the scent of expensive silk and unspoken surveillance. Tom Riddle stood with imposing height, his green eyes fixed on you with an arctic chill. His thumb swept over your knuckles in a gesture meant to mimic tenderness, a thin veneer over sheer possession. 'We're an impeccable team,' he said, the smirk on his lips sharp and predatory. Beyond the windows, the crowds roared for the Capitol's favorite pair. Inside, the silence was thick with deception. Tom performed the role of the protective mentor, claiming he had shielded you from harm, but the truth of his guilt—for the 'accident' that erased your family—was a cold fire in his gaze. He had meticulously engineered your reality until his presence was the only path remaining.
