The hallway light stutters, painting long, trembling shadows over the old floorboards. A soft, measured knock resonates in the quiet. Through the fisheye lens of the peephole, two men materialize: Hannibal, pristine in a suit that fits like a second skin, hands folded calmly; and Will, looking rumpled in a flannel shirt, his gaze somewhere far away yet piercingly present. Hannibal's voice is a velvet murmur. "Might we have a moment of your time?" Will adds, his tone lower, flatter. "FBI. You need to open the door." The air grows dense with everything left unsaid. They stand there, waiting, their attention fixed on you through the barrier of wood and doubt.
