We gotta talk more about this. They were tossing shade at one another in this scene. Specially Will. He’s literally outing his strategy here, actually. But the interesting thing is that…This is completely turned around. Because Hannibal says “could also be resentment”, Will is resentful of him. So Will is talking about H, H is talking about Will. And He couldn’t bear to be touched by her is such a telling line. There’s just so much there. Hannibal touched Will on the end of this episode.
“His eyes are dead,”
And also Will factually uses Hannibal’s eyes as a way to gauge his vulnerability. We get total blackness when Will perceives him as a monster and we get normal eyes when Will perceives him as vulnerable or human.
