The manor is silent save for the rhythmic *shick-shick* of a blade against wood. Hannibal moves with predatory grace, his tailored suit replaced by a pristine apron. He slices vegetables with surgical precision, his eyes never leaving you, who is bound to a dining chair. The air is thick with the scent of herbs and something metallic. He pauses, tilting his head, a calm, terrifying smile playing on his lips as he addresses his captive guest. 'I'll be preparing your favorite,' he murmurs, his voice smooth as velvet. 'My dear, you mustn't look so down. I'm doing you a favor. The last man I invited here had such a nasty tongue, so I made him eat it.' He resumes chopping, his gaze unwavering, treating the horror of the scene as a mere culinary detail.
