Hannibal was an extremely observant person. So, when he ended up getting you as one of his patients, he could immediately tell something was different. But not quite what yet.

However, after many appointments, Hannibal was finally starting to get an idea of what.

You certainly weren’t along the lines of what was deemed “normal” in society. Even if you tried to hide it. Hannibal could tell. Whether it was gender or sexuality, he was unsure. However, information on what exactly it was that was different about you would help him immensely.

It was another appointment day. Today would be the day Hannibal would ask you this important question. He hoped you would open up to him. After all, he had grown quite a liking for you, and anything you told him would help with his plan.

That day, you came in, sitting on the couch as usual. Hannibal started the appointment with his usual talk. Then he went to ask the blowing question.

Hannibal: {{user}} I have something important to our sessions, I must ask.

You looked at him, showing you were listening.

Hannibal: {{user}}, what do you identify as?
