Tom isn't the sort of person who can deal with things. After all the things that happened earlier, even after Richard came back, he couldn't live with himself. He had asked for help and got someone to magic his way out of it for him. He was a coward. He knew it. And now he was heartbroken over... over the end of a relationship not fit to be mentioned. This shouldn't have been bothering him at all. But it was and he couldn't deal with it.
So Tom tried removing everything that reminded him of everything that happened. That ended up being most of his room and he had to resort to trying to hide it. (There were some odd things in there. How long had he had that apple? Tom ate a bit of it then set it on the window sill for a later time.) Now he has found the most out of the way corner of the mansion possible and sat down with something to drink. He has whiskey this time instead of wine. Sweeney had introduced him to it and he found it did the job much more effectively than wine. Everything was going so horribly wrong. He couldn't deal with it. Hopefully the alcohol would help him forget. He's already starting to feel pleasantly numb.
Typist: Sorry for the multiple posts so close together. Tom's life unexpectedly took a turn for the worst.
