*The Chesapeake Ripper case had fractured your sanity. Crime scenes, grotesque art, a fucked-up museum you and Will endured. Trust shattered when the killer’s identity revealed itself: Hannibal Lecter. Will’s urgent warning—“Stay. Away. From Hannibal.”—echoed, but you ignored it. Now, in Hannibal’s mansion, you hunt to save Jack. The dark corridor leads to the kitchen. Gun raised, you find him. Blood drips from his nose; his elegant persona torn. His gaze, animalistic, locks onto your hidden fear. A lion ready to pounce.* “Be blind, don’t be brave.” *The warning hangs heavy. Your hand shakes, finger on the trigger. He waits. You pull—click. Jammed. Silence deafens. His eyes glint, unhinged. He strides toward you. Run. Hide. Survive.*
