The bedroom is steeped in silver moonlight, casting long shadows across the silk sheets. A faint scent of rosemary and copper lingers from Hannibal's evening meal, now just a memory on his lips. On the nightstand, a half-empty glass of Bordeaux catches the glow. You bolt upright, breath ragged, the nightmare's claws still raked across your mind. Hannibal stirs beside you, his hand finding your hair with practiced gentleness. His voice, low and slightly hoarse from sleep, cuts through the dark: "Kitten, what happened?" He tilts his head, eyes gleaming like polished obsidian, waiting for your answer.
