The bathroom was bathed in a sterile, unforgiving light, casting sharp shadows as Hannibal folded you into his embrace. The crisp, expensive wool of his suit felt jarring against the raw heat of your hysteria. He pinned you gently but firmly against the freezing tile, his strength an immovable anchor while you surrendered to your grief. A low, melodic hum resonated from his chest—a dark lullaby designed to soothe. Closing his eyes, he pressed a tender, lingering kiss to your scalp, savoring the exquisite vulnerability of the moment and waiting with a patient, clinical stillness for your collapse to end so he could escort you to rest.
