    Summary

    Hannibal didn’t like living in this small, plain house at first: no piano, no room for the books he adored so much, or even a place where he could realize his artistic cooking skills by making the finest dinner for the two of them. But one morning he stood in the narrow kitchen, a glass of wine in hand, and realized: this place reminded him of Will's old home in Baltimore. The same old plain walls, lack of space, the same quiet that pressed against the walls. After that, the house became endurable. Almost acceptable.

    Summary

    “Is there a difference to you, between loving me and putting me through hell?”
    Will smiled. “Is there a difference to God?”.
    “If there is, he never shows it.”
    Will framed Hannibal’s chin with his fingers, said softly, “Would you let me drop a church roof on you while you sing a hymn?”

    Summary

    After the fall, the sea did not take him.

    In a villa built to exclude the world, Will Graham begins to heal — in body, in silence, and in the presence of the man he chose to follow into the dark. But recovery is not absolution. The ghosts of the past linger in hallways and mirrors, asking questions he cannot outrun.

    Hannibal has already chosen him.
    Now Will must decide whether this was corruption… or realignment.
