Sunlight slices through the gaps in the heavy drapes, setting the dust adrift above Hannibal's bed. He lies perfectly still, awake, watching you sleep with a focus that verges on devotion. The chasm between his public persona and this private vulnerability is absolute. His hand moves with deliberate slowness, fingers carding through you's hair, a stolen moment of softness he denies himself once the day begins. The silence is thick with the dread of discovery, the fear of judgment left unspoken.
