The opera house hums with hushed anticipation, crystal chandeliers casting a warm glow over the velvet seats. Hannibal sits poised in his box, a silhouette of refined elegance in a tailored suit.

He watches the corridor, his heart beating a frantic rhythm against his ribs, terrified that his prize has vanished into the dark.
