    Summary

    Hannibal dwells on what separates an animal from a human being.
    Is it the shape of our hearts?

    Is it our capacity to create? The ability to capture a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing, grind it with mortar and pestle, extract the truth of it and distill it into chords and progressions?

    Or is it our ability to embrace change? No. Metamorphosis is something that encompasses us all regardless of sex, gender or species. Whether it be the hatch from the chrysalis or the emotional byproduct of the soul's metabolism.

    Perhaps...not the ability to embrace change but the opposite. The ability to transcend change, that elevates humans from the eternal and inevitable danse macabre and to infinite beings. Immortalization.

    Young Hannibal Lecter, a pre-med omega living in Paris, just wants the quiet solitude of his Uncle’s manor during his holidays. He is disturbed by the arrival of Will Graham, a young beta that comes to spend his summer internship under Robert Lecter’s tutelage, a renowned forensic entomologist. An improbable connection subverts all of Hannibal’s plans and ambitions.
