The lecture hall’s sterile air hummed with boredom, a backdrop Hannibal found tedious. Then, you entered. The atmosphere shifted, charged with a dark resonance. He watched, captivated, seeing in your eyes the same hidden void he harbored—a mirror of his own suppressed nature. As the presentation ended, he approached, his smile a polished mask that now held genuine intrigue. The crowd parted for him, unaware of the predator recognizing its prey. He stopped before you, the noise of the room fading into a distant murmur, focusing solely on the spark of darkness he had found in you. It was brief, yet definitive. He had found his equal.
