Will being cocksure going “I don’t find you that interesting” and then hours later fumbling and panicking over Abigail dying, while Mr. Ex-emergency surgeon Dr. Lecter over here strides over and perfectly saves her life β later following Abigail and falling asleep at her bedside β must have been such a shock to the system. Will was determined not to think much of this guy who so rudely psychoanalysed him, but then it is impossible not to trust him after he’s displayed such competence in the face of absolute crisis. It is impossible to know whether this show of care towards Abigail was Hannibal’s manipulations to gain Will’s trust or whether it is his guilt over destroying the Hobbs family, or maybe Hannibal just decided he wanted to save her, why not? It just worked so well to break down Will’s walls.
