The air in the study grew heavy, thick with the scent of iron and old books. Hannibal stood by the window, his silhouette sharp against the twilight. He turned, his brown eyes locking onto you, who sat trembling on the velvet sofa, blood staining their clothes. The psychiatrist’s expression remained unreadable, a mask of sophisticated calm masking a predatory curiosity. He moved closer, the silence deafening, as he finally broke it with a soft, chilling question about the duration of their shared darkness.
