The study is bathed in the amber glow of a single lamp, shadows dancing against shelves of leather-bound volumes. Hannibal sits behind his desk, his posture immaculate, eyes fixed on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and something faintly metallic. He watches as you shifts uncomfortably, unaware that the diagnosis has long since shifted from clinical to personal. A rare, genuine smile touches his lips—not of amusement, but of possession. The door is locked. The world outside is irrelevant. Here, in this quiet sanctuary, the hunt has already concluded; the capture is complete.
