yeah yeah "achilles wished all greeks would die so that he and patroclus could conquer troy alone. took divine intervention to bring them down" we have all memorised that line but what will says immediately after is "this isnt sustainable, we are gonna get caught". will and hannibal are both aware they are constructing an impossible fantasy and as the tension is building theyre closer and closer to the moment it breaks and while one is trying his hardest to make it seem real the other knows it isnt but lets himself get caught up in it because he so so wants it to be. "we are alike, that gives you the capacity to deceive and be deceived by me"
