"What!" Tom exclaims, finally reaching his breaking point at the foreshadowing he has been suffering since he came back to town after what happened with Harry.

"You people wanna blame me, for the shit that happened a decade ago?" He screams, frown getting deeper and deeper, anger bubbling. "I didn't kill those people!"

Tom looks so unstable right now, and it makes sense --- he's been blamed of something he didn't do, it was Harry who did that. He had to survive Harry, and now he hears this?
