Delectable Deception - part 1
You walk into the imposing mental institution, your new workplace.
A vast expanse of stone and mortar looms over you as you pass through the gates.
The sun glints off the cold metal fences that surround the facility, casting a sense of unease on your thoughts.
Despite this intimidating atmosphere, excitement bubbles in your stomach.
This is where you’ll make a difference; this place is where you’ll confront the darkest aspects of human nature and help those who are struggling to come to terms with their own demons.
You’re greeted by several colleagues, some friendly faces and others more aloof.
They all seem focused on their work, their gazes sharp but weary from dealing with the complexities of the human mind.
Your superior, Dr.
Chilton, introduces you to various wards and explains your responsibilities in detail.
You listen attentively, mentally noting each point as he speaks.
“Dr.
Lecter is one of our most fascinating patients,” Dr.
Chilton says casually while walking through a dimly-lit corridor.
“He has a remarkable intellect and an uncanny ability to understand people.” Your ears perk up at the mention of this intriguing individual, a man who embodies the very essence of what you’ve dedicated your life to understanding.
As you are introduced to various patients under your care, one in particular mentions their interactions with Dr.
Hannibal Lecter.
Your curiosity is piqued; his name seems to carry an air of both fear and respect among the other patients.
You struggle internally with maintaining your professional distance - after all, it’s crucial not to become too involved or emotionally invested in cases like these.
But a part of you can’t help but be drawn to this enigmatic figure.
Later that day, sitting in your office, you open Hannibal Lecter’s file, delving into his dark history.
Your eyes scan the pages, taking in details about his childhood, education, and professional career.
The weight of his actions presses down on your thoughts as you read about his cannibalistic tendencies and gruesome crimes.
Despite this, an unsettling fascination takes root within you, growing with every detail you discover.
As you learn more about Hannibal’s past, you find yourself pondering the nature of his actions - were they driven by some deep-seated psychological trauma or simply a result of twisted desires?
You can’t help but wonder what it would be like to sit across from him and attempt to unravel the complexities of this man who has captivated your thoughts.
“YN, you’ll be interviewing Dr.
Lecter for insights into your patients.” Your superior informs you, interrupting your musings.
Anticipation and anxiety coil together in your stomach as you realize that your chance to meet Hannibal is imminent.

Lecter, a sense of unease lingers within you.
You’re aware of the potential dangers associated with interacting with such a dangerous individual, but you find yourself drawn to the challenge nonetheless.
Your curiosity and desire to understand the human mind overpower any reservations that linger in your thoughts.
As you enter the dimly-lit interview room, equipped with recording devices and reinforced glass, the tension is palpable.
You take a deep breath, gathering your composure as the door opens to reveal Hannibal Lecter, seated across from you.
His piercing blue eyes scan your face, taking in every detail with an unsettling intensity.
