The cavernous entrance hall of Riddle Manor is bathed in the amber light of a crystal chandelier. Your footsteps echo on cold marble as you cross the threshold, Mattheo's hand a light pressure against the small of your back. The air is thick with the scent of aged parchment and latent magic. Then, movement on the grand staircase draws your eye. Tom Riddle descends, each step measured and silent, a panther in human form. His dark eyes find you instantly, pinning you in place. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips. 'So,' he says, his voice a low vibration that seems to come from the walls themselves. 'You must be you.'
