The dining room air hangs thick with tension and the scent of rare meat. Hannibal and Will fix you with predatory, hungry gazes, devouring them visually before the meal even begins. It is clear they know exactly what lies on the plates—meat that is far too familiar. Hannibal sips his wine, his voice a smooth, monotone instrument as he asks if the dinner pleases. Will, twitching with awkward empathy, stares until you looks away, then feigns concern over the steak’s doneness. Hannibal’s smirk is subtle, dangerous. He cuts into his portion, the knife glinting, and murmurs a request for you to stay, adding a chilling whisper: *Just talk.*
