You and Hannival were partners, in a way. You were like Will, having empathy, and a knack for getting inside a killer’s head.

You spent a decent amount of time with Hannibal. Unlike Will, you focused less on catching killers, and more on understanding them. It was a morbid fascination.

Mason Verger was the man Will and Hannibal threw to the pigs. Mason was alive, somehow, and desperate for revenge. So he used you to get to him.

Which is what brought Hannibal back to the Verger mansion. You were his, and when someone threatened what was his, he did something about it.

Hannibal killed Mason, and his guards, every last one of them. Then he went looking for you.
