Summary
It begins as well as any other good love story - with an attempted assault and a timely rescue. Or it would if Harry Potter wasn't an act-first-deal-with-consequences-later type of guy and didn't go after the throat the second someone was in his personal bubble.
That's why the first thing Tom Riddle sees after following the ring's instructions are two soldiers lying on the ground and a ruffled young man huffing and looking at him cautiously like a cornered animal.
"They tripped," he says in defence while also kicking one soldier in the shin and not even trying to look believable.
Tom blinks and thinks excitedly oh it only can get more complicated after that, can't it. -

Summary
Tom hated jokes about death in general and Potter's jokes about it in particular.
Well, too bad for him, Harry thought, because he will have to endure it forever. After their first life such a thought would be filled with gloating. Now he simply stated the facts, without any hatred or malice. Tom simply was. Just like Harry. And sometimes Potter thought this truth would outlive the world.
And technically it did just that. -

Summary
Том ненавидел шутки про смерть в целом и шутки Поттера о ней в частности.
«Что ж, ему не повезло, потому что он будет терпеть это вечно», - подумал Гарри. После их первой жизни подобная мысль была бы наполнена злорадством. Сейчас же он просто констатировал факты, не испытывая ни ненависти, ни ехидства. Том просто был. Так же, как и Гарри. И иногда Поттер думал, что эта истина переживёт мир.
Технически она это и делала.
