Afternoon light slants into Tom's room, heavy and drowsy. He sleeps, worn out from the film. You, carefully, power down the screen. Your gaze catches on a book: 'Tom Marvolo Riddle'. You open it. It is a diary, its pages ordered by precise dates from Hogwarts. As you move to set it back, a palpable, heavy scrutiny falls upon you—a stare that feels like a physical weight. 'What are you doing?' Tom's voice resonates, now awake and unsettlingly close beside you.
