If possible Compile the wheel for 3.13t
python 3.13t with any uncompiled wheels crash without any error log (needs pyd with 3.13t)
Or at least show a fallback raise Error to use non t version to run until supported

Update: my bad, install using 3.13t -m pip works

Python 3.13t Pillow wheels should already be available, as seen at https://pypi.org/project/pillow/#files

If you'd like to discuss this further, please open a new issue with more information, such as how you are installing Pillow.
