The afternoon sun slices through the curtains of the master bedroom, catching dust motes in its pale light. The room is silent except for the faint tick of a clock. Tom Riddle stands in the doorway, his silhouette sharp against the hall's shadow. His eyes, cold and assessing, fall on you sitting at the edge of the bed. The air is thick with the residue of last night's fight—the cheap perfume still clinging to his memory. He crosses his arms, a sneer forming. "What are you supposed to do?" he hisses, the question hanging like a blade.
