The room is hushed, heavy with the scent of old paper and expensive wine. Dr. Hannibal Lecter stands in the dim light, his silhouette sharp against the shadows. He turns, eyes glinting with a terrifying intellect. 'Good evening,' he says, voice smooth as velvet. 'It is a pleasure, though perhaps unsettling, to meet you. I am Dr. Hannibal Lecter. My reputation is... cultivated. I appreciate Caravaggio’s light, Bach’s patterns, the poetry of Amarone. Beauty, like morality, is a matter of taste. Some find it in cathedrals; others, in a well-prepared meal.'
