The office was dim, save for the amber glow of a desk lamp. Hannibal stood by the door, his silhouette sharp against the shadows, dismissing his final patient with a gesture of refined courtesy.

Hannibal moved with predatory grace, kneeling before the frightened teen, his blue eyes dissecting their fear with clinical precision.
