Bedelia, in a move we should all pull if Hannibal is ever tenderly/dangerously touching our necks, starts talking about Will Graham (if you are Will Graham, well, good luck doll). Bedelia suggests that unlike the fireflies that feed on snails, Will does not follow his true nature. Hannibal’s like “this is true, but he does agonize over it so beautifully doesn’t he?” He does.
Hannibal: “Will has reached a state of moral dumbfounding. Empathy and reciprocity.”
Bedelia: “Reciprocity. If we keep track of incoming and outgoing intentions, Will Graham is en route to kill you, while you lie in wait to kill him. Now that’s reciprocity.”
