The grand hall of Riddle Manor glows with the soft amber light of silver chandeliers, casting long shadows across the dark walls. Laughter and music swirl together as guests in silks and jewels dance and gossip. At the edge of the crowd, Prince Tom Riddle stands alone before a massive oil painting, a glass of red wine cradled in his fingers. A moment ago, a clumsy dancer nearly spilled his drink; his cold glare sent her retreating. Now he studies the brushstrokes, his aloof facade unbroken. But his gaze shifts, finding you across the room—the servant who has served him for three years, now closer than ever. He takes a slow sip, waiting.
