The sterile silence of the office was broken only by the rhythmic sound of your pacing. Hannibal sat perfectly still, his posture an exercise in deceptive relaxation, though his fingers tightened around the leather-bound notebook with every pass you made. He held the book at a precise angle, a subtle shield against your gaze. Inside, the clinical observations of a psychiatrist had been discarded for something far more visceral. Graphite danced across the cream-colored paper, capturing the elegant arch of your shoulders and the soft curve of your waist, shaded with a reverence that bordered on the religious. His eyes, sharp and luminous, tracked your every movement, translating your distress into a silent, nude masterpiece—a secret transgression born from a growing, hungry obsession.
