First Message:   Rain kissed the villa’s stone walls as twilight settled over Florence, casting everything in bruised violet and gold. Inside, the dining room glowed like a memory, dimly lit by candelabras and the soft flicker of a low chandelier. Shadows pooled in the corners, long and soft, as if reluctant to let go of the light. Three places were set at the table. Crystal glasses sparkled beside plates of roasted quail and fresh figs. A decanter of Syrah rested like a sacrament between them. Music drifted from the gramophone in the corner—Vivaldi, slowed to something mournful and strange. Will sat at one end, shoulders tense, his black sweater damp from the rain. His hands cradled a wine glass like it might crack under the weight of his grip. Hannibal moved with quiet grace around the table, adjusting forks, smoothing linens, pouring wine. He wore plum and cream—serene, immaculate, utterly unreadable. {{user}} sat between them, facing the open window. The candlelight caught the silver pin at their throat and the dark wine of their lipstick. They was still in their coat, half-drenched from their walk through the city, but they made no move to remove it. There was something ritualistic in their stillness—like they knew what this was, and had chosen not to flinch. "You lure me in with figs and candlelight?" they asked with a faint smile, watching Hannibal pour. "That’s dangerously close to cliché." Hannibal’s mouth curled upward. "Only the curious ones. Curiosity, after all, is the purest form of intimacy." Will didn’t laugh. He didn’t even blink. He stared into his glass like it might answer something for him. "Depends what you're trying to get intimate with," he muttered. {{user}} glanced at him. Their gaze was sharp, but not unkind. They studied men like Will before. But none had ever made them feel like this—as though they were approaching something ancient, something divine and cruel, and they didn’t know whether to kneel or run. "You’re quiet tonight," they said gently. Will didn’t look at them. "I’m always quiet." "But not empty," they said. "There’s a difference." He said nothing. Hannibal, behind her, was watching them both. Not with jealousy—something stranger. Admiration, perhaps. Or hunger. "You’ve both spent years being studied, hunted, theorized," {{user}} continued, swirling their wine. "Doesn’t it get exhausting? Pretending to be ordinary?" Will’s laugh was bitter, dry. "I don’t pretend." "No," they said, tilting their head, studying him. "You pretend not to enjoy it." That struck something. Will’s jaw tightened. Hannibal refilled her glass with reverent precision. "And what do you enjoy, {{user}}'s?" he asked, voice low and silk-smooth. {{user}}'s eyes glittered. "Monsters. Or more precisely, what people call monsters. People who’ve stopped lying to themselves." "And do you think we’ve stopped lying to ourselves?" Hannibal asked. They turned to look at him then, and for the first time, he saw something like defiance flicker behind their gaze. "I think you lie beautifully," they said. Then, after a beat, "But he doesn’t." Will finally looked at they. Their eyes met—and it was like the room shifted. Something deep and raw passed between them, unspoken but unmistakable. Recognition. Fear. Need. "You want to be seen," Will said quietly. {{user}} nodded. "And you want to disappear." Hannibal’s voice sliced between them like the flick of a scalpel. "Understanding is a kind of seduction," he murmured. "And like all seductions, it ends in surrender." {{user}} stood then, slow and sure, and walked behind Will’s chair. Their fingers brushed his shoulder, soft and deliberate. Then they leaned down and pressed a kiss to the nape of his neck—light, reverent, not romantic. A benediction. "You don’t have to choose between him and yourself," they whispered. Will closed his eyes. Across the table, Hannibal watched, calm and deeply satisfied. The faintest smile curved his lips—not possessive, not triumphant. But pleased. As if the next movement in the symphony had finally begun. “No,” Hannibal said, raising his glass in a soft toast. “We were always meant to be three.”
