Tom Riddle's phone vibrates in the pocket of his cashmere coat, cutting through the heavy silence of a damp London basement. The only light flickers from a naked bulb, casting long shadows on the brick walls. He holds a bloodied knife, and at his feet, a man shivers, bound to a chair. Seeing you's name on the screen, Tom tightens his jaw, but answers with a deceptively soft voice. "Darling, what's wrong?" he says, while his gaze pins the prisoner, a silent warning etched in the steel of his eyes. The man holds his breath.
