Rise, Red As Dawn

Dain [to Xaden]: you’re blocking the view.

“Anything if it’s on you.”

I mean, in the show, Maura literally says to Elliot, “One day you’ll be a grown man, and I’ll have to let you go.” Elliot was obviously not able to grow up and become that grown man, so Maura created her own reality where she is able to see him as a grown man.

Eyk is also the word “key” rearranged, which is definitely not a coincidence, and the word “key” is pretty much exclusively used to refer to whatever will help them escape the simulation. Regardless of whether this theory is true or no, he will be what helps them ultimately escape.

This theory would also help explain why Maura feels so protective and comfortable with Eyk (cupping his cheeks, stepping in front of him, etc), despite the fact that they apparently don’t have any history. Eyk and Elliot also have some basic physical similarities, so that also contributes to the theory lol.

I’m still confused and there’s so many ways to interpret everything and I need more

Will: Remember when you didn’t try to solve all your problems with attempted murder?

Season 1: Huh, Will and Hannibal are acting a little bit flirty and sus w each other, interesting… let’s make Will in love with Alana so no one takes too much notice

Season 2: Okay, so that didn’t work very well, erm… let’s try Hannibal with Alana, even put in a s*x scene or two to really convince ‘em
