Hannibal tuts a little as he clears away the first dish and places the main course in front of Will.
"I was not born a cannibal in these dreams, Will. Just as I was not born a killer. I was pushed into it by a string of events in my life and, having arrived there, found myself to be quite adept at it. The cannibalism, I assume, took longer to adapt to than did the killing. There is a jump of quite a few decades in my dreams, the details of which I can only guess at.
As a matter of fact, I went quite quickly from dreaming of seeking my revenge to dreaming of meeting you. I wonder what that could mean."
