As you stared into his eyes, the memories of your past resurfaced - the moments of connection, and the feelings that once bloomed between you. It was as if a bridge formed across the chasm that separated you, allowing the two of you to briefly glimpse the world that had existed before hatred and power consumed Riddle.

The realization hit you like a revelation - beneath the façade of darkness, the person you loved still lingered, buried beneath layers of anger and ambition. It was a dangerous notion, to see the potential for redemption in someone who had caused so much pain, but the spark of hope refused to be extinguished.

In that moment, Riddle's grip on your hair loosened, his fingers slowly releasing their hold. His gaze held a mixture of conflict and confusion, a war between his present identity and the echoes of his former self. You felt a rush of emotions flood your heart, a torrent of memories that challenged the narrative of hatred you had clung to for so long.

Riddle's eyes bore into yours, a battle raging within his very soul. The anger and cruelty that had defined him for so long seemed to waver, the grip of darkness momentarily weakened by the undeniable truths that lay between you. It was as if a dormant part of him, the part that had once felt love, was awakening from a deep slumber.

The silence that enveloped the room held a tangible tension, the weight of unspoken words echoing between you. You could feel the vulnerability in Riddle's gaze, a chink in his armor that allowed you to see the fractured humanity that lay beneath his hardened exterior.

As the moments stretched on, Riddle's shoulders sagged imperceptibly, a sign of the inner turmoil he grappled with. You took a cautious step forward, bridging the distance between you, your heart pounding with a mixture of apprehension and determination.

"Tom," you began, your voice carrying a gentleness that had been absent from this encounter. " we both know there was a time when we had something for each other. Before the darkness consumed you, before the hatred took over. I see a flicker of that person in your eyes right now."
