Summary
Cupid, careless or not, has struck him in the most vulnerable place: the soft underbelly he rarely acknowledges even to himself. The place where the ribs part just enough to admit a hand. Will puts his hand there sometimes when they lie together on his couch. He lets the hand remain where it lands, and he wonders whether Cupid is truly a reckless child or the intelligent, immortal god he has always been.

Summary
“If it was just Abigail,” he says, “I would’ve believed. I would’ve believed that I got so far up Hobbs’ head I couldn’t get out.” Because that is a kind of madness he understands, a kind of crossing-over that fits with everything he knows about himself, about the way he works, the way he slips into other people and carries pieces of them back out with him whether he wants to or not. A rotting corpse in his head. Not something antlered.
“But it wasn’t just Abigail.” Hannibal says it plainly.

Summary
After Will's return to the FBI, Jack proposes a new, and very unorthodox method to put Hannibal Lecter behind bars. He wants to read his thoughts, to get him to "admit" to being the Ripper that way. The operation takes a weird turn however, when instead of murder and cannibalism, Hannibal seems preoccupied with something else.

Bookmarker's Notes
Dr. Sutcliffe unrecognizable, not a Glasgow Smile so much as a Glasgow Scream.
He lies on his bed with his arms folded beneath his head and listens to the sounds of one of his fellow inmates crying. His sobs are great, wracking, never-ending, the sobs of an infant abandoned by its parents and rejected by the world. The inmate’s grief curls up in Will’s throat, the inmate’s tears slide down Will’s cheeks. He can’t help it.
You know recovery can often be a truce, not a victory
***His default state of being is restrained violence, so when he removes the restraints, he becomes violence personified.
***These thoughts are not strictly Hannibal’s. These thoughts are not strictly Will’s. These thoughts are the harmonic convergence of both men’s rage
***He looks up to see that Hannibal is watching him with penetrating eyes. “You mustn’t do that, Will. You are too clever to fall into that particular trap. You must realize that there exists no skeleton key you might plunder to unlock me. There is no deeper secret here. No explanation. You cannot explain me, any more than you can explain yourself.”
“Something happened to you,” says Will.
Hannibal shakes his head. “Nothing happened to me. I happened.”
As Hannibal applies the last bandage to his fingers, Will says: “You happened to me.”
