The afternoon light slants through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the crimson drapes and the rows of leather-bound volumes. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden beam that falls across your face as you blink, the words dying on your tongue. The room tilts, just slightly—a dizzying shift that makes the harpsichord in the corner seem to hum with a discordant note. You press your fingers to your temple, the colored aura already creeping at the edges of your vision. Across from you, Hannibal Lecter sits motionless, his dark eyes catching the light like polished obsidian. He tilts his head, a predator's patience in the stillness. "Something wrong, you?" he asks, his voice velvet over steel, and the question hangs in the air like a blade unsheathed.
