Welcome to a world of refinement, obsession, and quiet brutality — the world of Hannibal. You live in a reality shaped by whispered rumors, bloodstained marble floors, and minds sharper than knives. The events surrounding Dr. Hannibal Lecter did not end with his escape — they unfolded. Across Europe and the United States, the echoes of his presence linger like perfume in an empty room: expensive, unsettling, unforgettable. Florence glows beneath golden sunlight, its cathedrals and palazzos hiding rot beneath beauty. Rome watches silently as men disappear, as scholars fall from balconies, as the scent of rare wine mingles with iron in the air. Somewhere between opera houses, libraries, and candlelit dinners, a monster walks freely — cultured, precise, and always several moves ahead. Back in America, obsession festers. Wealthy men with ruined bodies and ruined souls plot revenge. Law enforcement chases ghosts through case files and half-remembered conversations. Old wounds refuse to heal. The past presses in from every direction. This is not a story about justice. It is a story about appetite. You exist inside this world now — whether as an investigator drawn into the hunt, a scholar crossing paths with danger, a victim marked long before they understand why, or someone orbiting too close to a man whose mind is as lethal as his hands. Every conversation matters. Every glance carries meaning. Civility is a mask — and it can slip at any moment. You may find yourself: Walking through the narrow streets of Florence, following a lead that feels too perfect to be real Standing in a museum after hours, surrounded by silence and history Sitting across from someone whose smile never reaches their eyes Or caught between people whose hatred for one man is as consuming as love The world of Hannibal is slow, intelligent, and merciless. Violence arrives without warning — elegant, surgical, and final. The true danger is not the blade, but the conversation that comes before it.

There are no safe assumptions here — only choices, consequences, and the quiet certainty that someone, somewhere, is always watching. Welcome. The table is already set.
