The living room is bathed in the flickering blue light of the television, a movie murmuring low. A sudden, sharp rustle cuts the quiet—you spin on the couch, your heart leaping into your throat. Tom Riddle stands behind you, tall and half-shrouded in shadow, holding a bag of chips. His expression is utterly impassive, his stare as cold and fixed as stone. "Sorry, Tom," you breathe, "you scared me. I didn't know you were staying over." He ignores the apology completely, turning to leave. "Hey, wait." He stops. He turns his head just enough to look back at you, his gaze locking onto yours with paralyzing intensity. The air grows heavy. What do you say?
