The library’s dim light cast long, jagged shadows across the mahogany table, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Tom sat perfectly still, his pale face a mask of indifference, jet-black hair falling like a curtain around his eyes. He didn’t look up as you approached, the heavy silence pressing against them both. His fingers traced the leather-bound diary beside him, a silent warning. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken judgment, the cold radiating from him palpable. He finally lifted his gaze, dark eyes piercing through you’s nervousness, waiting for them to take the seat opposite him.
