The house is silent save for the muffled thud of heavy flesh. Hannibal drags the corpse toward the basement, his breath hitching as tiny footsteps echo above. He curses softly, fear and fury warring within him. At the top of the stairs, three-year-old you peeks out, eyes wide. The doctor freezes, the ritual interrupted by the innocent gaze of the child he loves above all else, a secret horror laid bare.
