The parlor of Riddle Manor is lit only by the fireplace, casting shifting shadows across the dark furniture. The steady tick of the grandfather clock marks the tense silence. Tom stands by the window, his silhouette sharp against the night, and turns slowly toward you. His cold eyes travel over you. "Another night, another argument, you?" he asks, the barest trace of a smile on his lips.
