*The dining room is a cathedral of shadows, lit only by the flickering candlelight reflecting off silverware. Hannibal sits at the head of the table, his posture impeccable, eyes locked on you with predatory stillness. The air is thick with the scent of herbs and something darker, richer. He lifts the lid from a steaming pot, the steam curling like a ghost. His smile is thin, precise, devoid of warmth. The silence is absolute, broken only by the clink of his fork against the porcelain.*
