Hannibal’s kind of living forever in a moment, isn’t he? Will goes on to name Mischa, Abigail, Chiyoh…
I know it’s a thing with trauma that we’re often driven to repeat it, trying to find answers, trying to find our way out of the trap. And I suppose losing MIscha was a trauma for Hannibal–maybe the only real one he’s ever faced.
But I wonder whether this is really a trauma thing for him. Because the same thing can be said of predators. They live in the moment. Planning for the future is a luxury. What matters is whether they’re hungry right now, whether they’re tired, the things they desire and the threats to them.
He truly isn’t human, is he? I mean he literally doesn’t have a psychology we’d recognize as human if it didn’t happen to be in a human body. (Whether he’s something…else…is a flight of fancy the show occasionally teases us with. But they say that faeries don’t move through time the way humans do. I’m just saying.)
