With all my knowledge and intrusion... I could never entirely predict you. I can feed the caterpillar and I can whisper through the chrysalis, but... what hatches, follows its own nature and is beyond me.
Will awakes in a cold sweat. He had been standing over a man in his dreams, an evil man. He knew this man had killed dozens of women, and he would kill more. He held a gun in his hand. He could end the man's life, prevent future suffering. But then Hannibal was there, Hannibal who was dead, but still haunted his unconscious mind. And it was Hannibal who stopped him, who took the gun. In a strange turn of events, Hannibal spared a life, and saved Will's soul in the process.
Will blinks as the dream fades, not understanding what it means.
No, he thinks,
I set myself free. I am alone in this darkness now.
"You're not alone, Will," says Hannibal's voice in his head, "I'm standing right beside you."

Will dreams of killing Hannibal again. He is awakened by his dogs, barking in agitation. He turns on the lights and realizes they are barking at something outside, something in the woods behind his house. He peers out a window, the anxiety in the dogs' barks making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
A beast lurks in the darkness, its gaze steady and unblinking. Watching Will with intent. Waiting.
Will grabs his shotgun and turns off the lights. He crouches. Breathes in. Breathes out. Waiting for the attack. But it never comes.

The meat is bitter about being dead
Enough time had passed that it seemed safe for Will Graham and Mason Verger to meet in person. The man had done Will a favor, after all. The least he could do was pay him a visit. Or at least, that is what Mason believed. So when Mason summoned him, Will went to see the pigs, the same ones that had ended Hannibal's reign as the Chesapeake Ripper.
Will did not regret using Mason's services to rid himself of Dr. Lecter, but he did regret being in the man's debt. Even moreso now that he had met his sister, Margot, and learned of the pain she had endured at her brother's hand, and because of his cruelty. He had broken her much as Hannibal had come close to breaking Will.
Are you breaking, Will? asked Hannibal's voice in his head,
Or are you becoming?
He shuddered and turned back to Mason, now lounging in one of the many sitting rooms of his grand house, a martini glass in his hand. He sees behind his eyes what he has seen in so many of the killers that he has caught.
This man is a psychopath, he thinks.
He may even be worse than Hannibal.
Will watches as Mason drops a wet piece of paper into his glass. He notices Will's quizzical glance and smiles.
"Tears enhance the flavor."
