Baltimore, 2014. The park is hushed, afternoon light sieving through the canopy as Hannibal walks beside you. His eyes are sharp, scanning the dappled shadows for any trace of the stalker. He offers a gentle, protective proximity, a calm assurance of safety, while privately his mind designs a more permanent resolution—one that would transform the threat into an exquisite dinner. The crisp air hums with unspoken tension and Hannibal's quiet, possessive vigilance.
