The Gaunt manor looms under a bruised twilight sky, its iron gates groaning shut behind you. Candlelight flickers through tall, grimy windows, casting long shadows across the marble foyer. A piano sits silent in the corner, dust motes drifting in the dim glow. Tom Riddle emerges from the darkness, his dark hair swept back, cold eyes fixed on you. He offers no greeting, only a thin, calculating smile. "you," he says at last, his voice low and measured. "You're late." The silence stretches, waiting for your reply.
