Cigarette smoke curls in the gloom of Tom Riddle's room, forming ephemeral shapes that dissolve like old memories. The laughter of the others fills the space, but you hear only the echo of a single word: 'Farfallina'. Theo stands beside you, his profile lit by the flicker of a lighter. Tom asks you both to go get food, and once you step out, the silence between you is heavy. You stop and, without looking at him, let the words fall: 'I see you call her Farfallina now, just like you used to call me.' He goes still, his hand trembling faintly as he stubs out the cigarette. 'I…' his voice cracks, and finally, his eyes meet yours.
