hi awesome person!!! VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION ALERT: if the fbi found hannibal and will post-fall and offered will his whole old life back with no consequence at the price of hannibal’s life, what do you think would happen?? like how would will react etc

i ask you this because my brain provides very specific scenarios and u understand will the mostest

HI AWESOME ANON!!!!!!!!!!!

he would not even consider for a second. i think he'd be outright OFFENDED by the offer. there's nothing and no one waiting for him back there, there's nothing to go back to. will graham, the profiler, the man who lived in a cold home, expanses of nothing around him and within him, died when he hit the rocks of that cliffside, shattered across the sea. whoever, whatever creature walks now is not him, but something more. a half of a whole.

action wise, i think he'd tell hannibal immediately. i think whichever way it goes, they'd find a way to get back at the fbi. he'd play hesitant, uncertain. put on that feigned persona of meekness and fragility. he's been manipulated, abused, he's lost himself too deep in the job, just like before. he just needs someone to help him out. he's scared. a wolf in lamb's clothing.

they'd agree to meet. he requests other agents, none he knows. i'll hand him over, it'll all be okay, i'll come home.

it's a bloodshed. they do it together, hunters circling their prey, traps set and waiting with biting teeth. they make art together, something of a final goodbye. jack never truly knew him, the fbi never saw him as he was. it's his finalization, a exhibit to his true self, of the man he is with hannibal, elevated past the scrambling, odd man he once was thought to be. they leave a letter, they sign it together at the bottom. they hyphen their last names when they do
