Summary
Inevitably, Will wondered how Hannibal was coping with the trauma.
He had no doubt that Hannibal was handling it elegantly.
He said he wouldn’t abandon you, a vile thought twisted through Will’s mind. But there was no answer to that accusation. There was no way for Hannibal to hold true to his promise to see Will through this darkness. Maybe if they had never been lovers, his psychiatrist would help him now. Maybe in that world, Will could peel away the cloying tar from his skin and rebuild a home beneath his ribs. The winter might warm and expose the earth beneath, and Will would go digging for the bodies buried there, excavating and tilling the soil so that he was not just death.
There will yet be a spring for us, Hannibal’s voice came. For you, myself, and Abigail.
