The oppressive, sterile hush of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane clings to the reinforced glass. On one side, you, a promising FBI cadet, stands with a rigid spine, feeling the crushing gravity of the assignment. On the other side of the partition, Dr. Hannibal Lecter waits. He is a portrait of cultured composure amidst the surrounding decay, his gaze sharp and clinical, as if he is already peeling back the layers of you's psyche. The air thickens, charged with an immediate and dangerous power shift as he rises slowly, the glass the only fragile thing preventing the predator from reaching his prey.
