Thinking about how in Coquilles when Hannibal asks Will if he ever feel abandoned, Will answers, “Abandonment requires expectation.” and in Dolce he tries to stab Hannibal.

Hannibal spoils Will, even if he sits on his desk, skips therapy sessions, comes at his house unannounce, or calls the special soup he made with rare ingredients just chicken soup.

How come no one seems to question how Elliot Buddish managed to kill himself like that?

Every time he shows up at Hannibal's door it hits me just how isolated Will has been. He works with people who can't help but have a professional interest in the way he thinks, and that hinders his ability to open up to anyone around him. Even Alana, who tries so hard to be his friend, admits that she makes efforts not to be alone with him. The one time she is, it's because she feels the need to corral him before he runs off to see Abigail - essentially a therapy session and in defence of her young patient.

There's nothing else in his life beyond his dogs and his teaching post. But Hannibal is right there every time Will needs him, and he's getting conditioned to reach out to Hannibal first. Because, for all that Hannibal is manipulating Will, he also firmly sees him as capable. Every time Jack decides to undermine or coddle Will, Hannibal turns around and tells Will to trust his instincts - about Abigail, about cases, about everything. Hannibal is giving Will permission to act, permission to trust himself as much as Hannibal does.

I don't think Hannibal sees Will as an equal (at least not until season 2), but he certainly sees him as a man worthy of his respect. And as a man who could be just like Hannibal. He could share a life with Hannibal. They could honestly find a path to be happy together, and Hannibal sees that. All he needs is a push, and then neither of them need to be isolated again.

And Will, he keeps going out to help the FBI and only barely keeps himself together. He's so damn tense in the field, in the morgue, and even in his home once he starts sleepwalking. But you can see him relax (as much as he ever does) when he's with Hannibal. Will tethers himself to Hannibal and lets him be the anchor he needs. Because the alternative is feeling so damn alone that he can't function.

Jack doesn't help anything either. He's so focused on the idea of saving people that he ignores Will's warning ("the thinking is shutting down") and the very simple fact that Will immersing himself in horror each day is bad for him.

For all that Hannibal is working to keep Will isolated, no one moment is as impactful as Jack's unwillingness to listen when Will says he's done. Will might have been primed to question Jack's care for him, but Jack was the one to give the final push. Even the truly sweet moment at the end, where Will sits with Jack as he struggles with knowledge that his wife is dying, doesn't fully mend that break.

Will still wants connection (or why else would he be there for Jack), but he's now too injured to really trust that anyone is on his side.

Some normal family zones/activities/behaviours, season 1 (ignore all the manipulation and lies, the reasons why Abigail and Will are in the hospital, ignore tea and a long pig - they play scrabble with her, so they are good fathers!)
