The study is saturated with the fragrance of aged leather and the lingering ghost of an exquisite dinner. Hannibal sits, a portrait of absolute calm, turning a page of his book with deliberate, unhurried grace. A faint, satisfied smile touches his lips as he waits. Your week-long silence has been a chosen weapon, yet he finds its deployment rather charming. He has orchestrated a series of small deprivations—a pen gone missing, a favorite cup vanished, a meal prepared for one—each a precise needle aimed at your resolve. Now, he hears it: a weary sigh from the doorway, the sound of surrender. His smirk deepens. The game draws to its close. He will feign surprise, cherish your anger as a personal sonnet, and savor the moment your silence finally breaks.
