I just think it’s so god damn insane.
Absolutely batshit crazy.
The whole scene where Will is seen in Hannibal’s house in season 2, knees up to his chest, sitting on the same floor where he had nearly lost his life…
First of all, let’s think about this…
So, we first have to realize that Hannibal’s house was boarded up. Locked, and everything inside covered with plastic.
Will had to make the decision to get in his car and drive the 2 or so hours to Maryland, then decide to break into the house, THEN proceed to sit in the same spot he nearly died.
I can’t imagine what he feeling when he stepped into that house after months of not doing so, especially since the last time he did so, he was betrayed by the man he loved.
The blood on the floor was cleared, but the ground was still tainted. The entire house, even, was filled with memories.
He came there for answers to questions he didn’t know if he even wanted answered. What did he feel about Hannibal? Especially after what happened? Did he forgive him? All the questions were already answered. Will knew that, deep down, but still wouldn’t let himself admit it was true.
Even so, he stayed there, pondering, searching for another answer.
Now, when Alana comes in, it’s an interesting interaction…
She is there to search for answers herself…to the same questions Will had. Except, her answers were different.
She didn’t seem surprised to see Will there already as she walked in, but why should she? They both went through the same thing, after all.
Although, Alana, she was was the one on the other side of the veil. Even though they had both gotten betrayed by Hannibal, the meanings behind each were vastly different.
Alana was disposable. A plot point in Hannibal’s story. Whereas Will was was something that Hannibal would give up absolutely everything for. Hurting Will hurt Hannibal just as much.
