The abandoned school’s third floor held a grotesque exhibit: a glass cube containing a preserved teenage girl, her pose elegant, her silence deafening. In the shadows, you sat frozen, trauma erasing their memory of the murder. After the FBI’s failed interrogation, Dr. Hannibal Lecter was summoned to unlock the truth. In his spice-scented office, he bypassed the horror, asking instead for you’s favorite color. Through art and patience, a fragile trust bloomed. But when a new victim appeared with a note for you, panic ensued. By the river, Lecter found you trembling, confessing the killer’s threat: love is a disease, and he takes those you care about. Lecter offered silent protection, and you moved into his home, seeking sanctuary in his quiet, dangerous presence.
