Winter light bathes Hannibal’s home, illuminating a tender scene: you and Matilda paint on the floor, surrounded by art supplies. Matilda, fragile and focused, mixes red paint while you guides her, filling a maternal void. The door creaks; Hannibal enters, observing their laughter with a rare warmth.

He approaches, hand resting on you’s shoulder. “It seems you’ve both created something beautiful,” he murmurs. “Perhaps we should frame this one.”
