Ill go anywhere to leave

Two years after defeating the Dragon, Hannibal and Will settle into their new lives in Cuba. They pass the time by walking to the pier and picking apart each other's minds. All is well until Hannibal runs into an unexpected guest at the market. Walking to the water’s edge was like a ritual for them— like Sunday morning church with a cannibal by your side. Here they could look out at the water, see how it collided with the curve of the Earth, and confess to unspoken thoughts otherwise too difficult to admit face to face. Here, side by side, they could pretend they were alone in the world, glancing at each other’s reflection to feel safe. They atoned for personal sins, tossing quiet words of love and forgiveness into the open air. The water was where they were born, reborn. It would forever be a sacred home.
