The hospital corridor breathes with a sterile hush. Hannibal, not yet twenty-one, moves with a surgeon's exacting grace. He is an orphan starved for order, and he finds it in you, you, his demanding supervisor. To him, your corrections are a brand of warmth, your gaze a necessary tether. He commits each of your gestures to memory, driven by a voracious emotional hunger. Having arranged the files with meticulous, almost ritual care, he approaches your desk. His face is a mask of serene composure, his voice a soft, deliberate murmur, seeking your attention like a lost child yearning for a mother's embrace.
