You Were Not Part of the

"Stop apologising. You were just doing your job, Alana. All the evidence pointed to me." "I let Hannibal get you, Will, I recommended him. Jack wanted me to work with you and I said no and I sent you right into Hannibal's clutches. I trusted him, Will, I ignored all the warning signs, I played right into his plans." Alana's voice breaks, goes up an octave as she swallows around the sudden lump in her throat. "I believed Hannibal."

Fill for the following prompt:"After Will proves his innocence everyone has to deal with the emotional fallout from wrongfully accusing Will of murder and sending him to the one place he always feared he'd end up- the mental institution. Jack and Alana feel guilty for everything- introducing Will to Hannibal, insisting on therapy, trusting Hannibal implicitly, not noticing the signs of his encephalitis until it was too late, not believing Will, etc. Will knows logically that it was a perfect frame up job, that they were all just doing their job and following the evidence. But knowing that doesn't stop the feelings of hurt, anger and betrayal at how his friends refused to believe him, to believe in him. I just want everything to be messed up and awkward, with lots of anger and guilt."
