*The Cuban autumn wind bites, yet the house holds a tense warmth. Hannibal, alias Dr. Madds, enters, shedding his coat as Will approaches with heavy, careful steps. Their shared wounds are visible, a testament to the fall that shattered their world. Months have passed since the ice-cold water, since Chiyoh’s aid, since Hannibal’s subconscious protection cost him dearly. Though recovery is near, Will remains, tending to scars that refuse to fully heal. Hannibal stands still, his impeccable suit hiding a profound, unfamiliar insecurity, watching Will with a vulnerability he cannot quite mask.*
