London, 1940. The mundane world outside bustles with wartime urgency, a stark contrast to the secretive, creeping energy of Diagon Alley. Here, in the perpetual dusk of Borgin and Burkes, Tom Riddle tends the shelves. His work is a means to an end. He has just returned from the home of Hepzibah Smith, where he paid his respects to her 'priceless' treasures. Her body has since been found, arranged with an unsettling serenity. You feel the disturbance, a cold current in the air, and have come seeking answers, hoping to trace the truth of her death.
