Hear his Mother's anguish as the Academy comes knocking on her door. A sudden interest in her boy has sent them to collect, but he is all she has. 
Innocence lost, a mind forever changed, and a body left behind in a musty tomb. 
Enter the library and walk between the dark aisles. Follow the stairs down and through the rusted door. See what Tommy saw, and pray that is has no interest in you.
Unlike him.
