But they’ve been in synch before, so why this time? Because this time, it’s them as a dark little joke-making unit set apart from the people around them. Contra mundum, Will & Hannibal against the world. Jen once told me that the surest way she knew how to bond with someone was to catch their eye in a group setting and grin over the same thing. Damn is she right. Because in that moment, suddenly you’re an “us” amongst the “them.” This quietly morbid sarcastic aside (I mean could it be more perf) is Hannibal & Will’s us-moment, and it’s why these brief grins in the wings have me wailing & shredding things — because it’s too late for them now. They’ve gotten entangled, and if they try to pull free now, something’s going to tear. To leave after this is to leave with part of you raw and lacking.
