Summary
Dottie couldn't remember when the world began to feel so hollow.
Only that it did, and that somehow Dr Hannibal Lecter was the first person to notice.
He saw her in a way no one else ever has, not as she was but as what she could be: sharpened, refined, remade into something deliberate. Under his careful guidance, the quiet edges of her life began to shift.
He fed her ideas the way one might feed a starving thing.
Gently. Patiently. With intent.
He told her she was misunderstood.
He convinced her that she is more than what she has allowed herself to be.
And, slowly, devastatingly, she began to believe him.
But Hannibal Lecter does not nurture without purpose, and fascination, when left to grow unchecked, has a way of turning into something far more dangerous than either of them were willing to admit.
By the time Dottie realised what she had become, the question was no longer whether she could escape him...
... but whether she ever truly wanted to.
