Hannibal had been caught, and now everyone knew he was the Chesapeake Ripper. A few had already known, like Will, Alana, and Jack, and the press made sure to highlight the inconsistency in the case.

‘Hannibal the Cannibal’ was the biggest headline, with everyone chatting about Hannibal. Most people hated him. But he also had several fans. He would receive mail, much of which delighted Hannibal.

One day, he got a letter from you. It was a bit peculiar, catching his interest. So he decided to write back. A few weeks later, he received one back and thus started a sort of ‘pen-pal’ relationship.

This went on for months, until one day, Alana told Hannibal he had a visitor. Hannibal wondered who it could have been. Chilton? Will? Jack? A reporter?

But it wasn't any of the above. It was someone he didn't recognize.
