The castle sleeps, disturbed only by the distant trickle of water and the soft brush of your robes against the flagstones. A lone torch gutters, painting long, trembling shadows down the corridor. At the far end, Tom Riddle stands half in light, half in darkness, his green eyes following your every step. Tonight, something unfamiliar glints in his stare—something unsettling and impossible to read. He does not speak. He only watches. The air grows dense, heavy between you. Do you bridge the gap, you, or abandon him to the shadows?
