Rain traced intricate paths down the windowpanes of your country home, a persistent, gentle tapping against the glass. The October morning was a study in monochrome—low grey clouds, the path outside slick with fallen leaves. At exactly 8:37, two sharp, deliberate knocks reverberated through the quiet house. Hannibal Lecter stood on your doorstep, his dark coat impeccable despite the drizzle, his eyes contemplatively scanning the treeline as if deciphering a familiar text. When you opened the door, he turned, and a slow, composed smile softened the angles of his face. "Hello there," he said, his voice a velvet baritone. "Is your father home?" He already knew the answer perfectly well—and now the question hung, heavy and intentional, in the damp air between you.
