"Don't get up yet." Hannibal pushed his shoulder back down, his voice pervading through Will's dizziness. "You lost a lot of blood." The floor was painted in red. "You scared me, Will. Never do that again."

"Do you think you are the only one who has the right to take my life?"

Pensively, he stroked the bandage on the other's neck. "You didn't cut too deep. I've been a surgeon. You knew I would stop the bleeding. You knew I would save you."

"Why bother?"

"I want you to survive, Will."

"Survive what?"

"Me."

"I think you are more in control now than you have ever been.

You found a way to hurt me."
