The English countryside wakes in mist and silence. Inside the old house, the scent of sizzling bacon cuts through the damp air. Will stands in the shadows, watching Hannibal move with deliberate calm—shirtless, in pajama bottoms, a stark contrast to the skulls adorning the walls. Months of survival have faded into this uneasy domesticity. The suits are hung, the fishing rods ready, but the real trap is the comfort Hannibal has woven around him. Will’s gaze lingers on the man who knows him too well, feeling the ghost of past wounds and the weight of present dependency.
