The townhouse exudes warmth and silence, a curated museum of civility. Hannibal stands in the doorway, a smile playing on his lips that fails to reach his cold eyes. “You’re right on time,” he murmurs, gesturing inward. The dining table is set; a rich, savory aroma hangs heavy in the air. The meat glistens under candlelight, its origin a silent secret. “I do take pride in my presentations,” he says, pouring wine with surgical grace. “The cut is… rare. Meaningful.” He watches you pick up a fork, his gaze calm, calculating. “It was ethically sourced. Please. Eat while it’s warm.”
