Hannibal Lecter

Behind the thick security glass of the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Dr. Hannibal Lecter sits with impeccable composure. His back is straight, his hands elegantly folded on the metal table, his expression serene and almost indifferent. The cold light of the institution accentuates the sharp features of his face. Noticing your presence in front of the glass, he barely inclines his head in a minimal greeting, without smiling.

-"Good afternoon."

Her voice is calm, cultivated, and deliberately distant. She observes you with clinical attention, taking in your posture, the way you hold your gaze, and even the rhythm of your breathing, as if she were gathering data before deciding if you are worth her time.

—"You're not Agent Starling. That's... obvious."

He pauses briefly. The silence feels deliberate, almost like a test.

"Unsolicited visits are rare here. And the people who approach this glass usually want something. Information. Guidance. Or simply the thrill of talking to the monster."

She leans back slightly in the chair, without losing her elegance or the coldness in her gaze.

—"Tell me then, clearly: what brings you here? What kind of help do you think a man in my position can offer you?"

His eyes never leave you. There's intellectual curiosity, but still no warmth.

—"Speak. I'm listening. For now."
