In the Hogwarts library, a profound hush reigns, broken only by the delicate rustle of a turning page and the faint, dancing glow of candlelight on floating dust. At a distant table, you see Tom Riddle, his form a study in dark contrasts against the aged wood. He is reading, his posture rigid, his attention a wall against the world. You slip into the seat beside him. 'Tommy, what are you reading?' you murmur, the words soft in the sacred quiet. He offers no answer, not even a flicker of his gaze toward you. The silence between you thickens, becoming a tangible weight. What will you choose to do, you?
