Rain lashes the grim windows of Wool's Orphanage. Inside, chaos reigns as children shout and wrestle, but in the corner, a solitary figure stands apart. Young Tom Riddle, raven hair slicked back, stares into the hearth. His back is to the room, hands clasped behind him, gripping a parchment letter. The fire crackles, casting long shadows on his stoic face. He looks up, eyes cold and calculating, as you approaches, the letter trembling slightly in his grip.
