Summary
The room is small, but it feels vast compared to the cramped quarters of the car. It’s dingy on a good day, likely grimier in the light, yet it soothes with an indescribable coziness. Abigail assumes Hannibal chose it for its porousness—the way things well-used and run-down can absorb the undesirable. Its ability to swallow blood, mud, rain-soaked clothes, crumpled bandage wrappers, and discarded bottles of topical iodine, and leave no trace behind.
The beauty of an eternal reset, with nothing left but a mint on the pillow for the next day.She can see them– families on vacation, young couples high on the thrill of shotgun weddings, lonely bachelors– sinking into the bed, blissfully unaware of how deep loneliness goes.
However deep the bottom of that pit is, Abigail, lately, is willing to concede she feels exactly that lonely.
She stirs from the fantasy at the sound of Will anxiously calling for her through the door.
_____A post-fall murder family road trip wherein, through flashbacks to his last sessions with Bedelia Du Maurier, Will attempts to understand his intimate relationship with Hannibal and the life they begin to create post-fall.
