Chapter Summary:
“Maybe she didn’t mean it.” He muttered to himself, staring blankly out at the park. He licked his lips. “She was just mad. She didn’t mean it. She just wanted to…”
To what – control him? Punish him? Make him so angry he finally snapped?
He buried his face in his hands. He wanted to cry. He laughed instead.
“Gods,” he said, “what the fuck is wrong with me?”
Nothing, a voice like Riddle’s hissed.
Everything, his mother’s spat.
Maybe he was broken. Maybe he had been splintering from the day he was born. Maybe he had finally reached the precipice he had never known he was approaching and had toppled over head first.
