Canon: Hannibal & Clarice decor a christmas tree together and grab accidentally for the same christmas bauble. They celebrate their very first christmas holidays in Buenos Aires.

After her father's dead, Clarice has never attented a christmas party ever again which is why Hannibal bought the tallest pine he could find at the christmas tree sale to surprise her.

When he asked her whether or not she has prepared a wishlist for Santa, she was just replying, "All I want for christmas is you, stupid." As if he hadn't already known...

And it filled him with the greatest satisfaction. And love.

So he whispers, "So do I, mi amor."

—————

this is the first time (between both hannibal and jack offering any kind of out) that will seems to think it over and allow himself the choice. like will says, there's always a part of him that wants to run away with him, a shadow behind the curtain that reaches for him. hannibal offers to leave now, to disappear from maryland and start over somewhere new, and will wants that. hannibal even says he claims his sins— in saying that he needs jack to know, will claims his own. he plays with hypotheticals — if jack knew, would he forgive him? if jack knew, would he think any less of him? — but at the same time, he rejects them: he never gives a clear cut answer as to if he'd accept jack's forgiveness, because he doesn't know if he would. jack has had a notorious history with using will only when he's useful, but will knows he still holds an affection over him, just like he had miriam. this wouldn't be his first loss to hannibal but it would be one that hit the hardest — because will is choosing hannibal. will can't stand the thought of killing jack — he hesitates, before he says it's necessary — he'd rather jack be dead than live with the weight of will's betrayal.

then will has to weigh the burden of each side, with a cross-cut between hannibal and jack:

will doesn't know what needs to be done, what he needs to do to ensure this works. he's on the fence. he can't give up the life he's built because he's afraid of being unable to begin a new one — but hannibal's reassurance that they can start over in florence are skewing his perception. jack, alana, and his dogs, to hannibal and abigail's memory. the pattern that his mental curtains display or the shadow beyond it, his repression or his becoming. he already leans towards hannibal at the time of his talk with freddie.

he asks her not to write of abigail. she can write about him and hannibal, her murder husbands, the two that got away, but to leave their daughter out of it. off freddie's line — "you really don't know if you're going to survive him, do you?", will has resigned himself to the fact that he can't live with him, or without him. either way, hannibal lecter will be the death of him.

even given all these points, he still hasn't made up his mind — he can't answer freddie's question because he knows he'll survive hannibal if he runs away with him. he can't honor her question without making a finite decision.

and i believe alana's call is what pushes him to make one.

alana, unwittingly, has just destroyed whatever life will had to come back to, if he had given up hannibal. he cannot come back to wolf trap now, to his dogs and his fishing and his delusions of abigail, because he's a wanted man. there is no safety, no comfort to be found here anymore. alana has taken his place from the world. that, i believe, was what pushed him to make his decision.

he's chosen hannibal. his precarious safeguard has been taken and his backup plan shattered — there's nowhere he can go if not with hannibal. hypocritically, he's been betrayed. and alana knows the same, that's why she tries to beat him to hannibal's house.

she does, but she's not ready for that they have planned. as i said in a previous post (this one) hannibal did have a plan to start over. abigail and will were constants in that plan, no matter how much it had changed — they were going to run away from this and leave it all behind. abigail was going to have a place in the world again — maryland had no place for dead girls. she was going to be alive. will was going to be free of the burden of having to shroud himself in normalcy. hannibal would be free to love without fear of loss. and alana was getting in the way of that plan, and abigail was just doing what she'd been told.

then will comes in. finds alana on the sidewalk, surrounded by broken glass, not breathing. she pulls in a ragged breath— and she's alive— and will can't let her die. he still was feelings for her, he still cares, some semblance of compassion in himself for her that pushes him to call for the authorities. and then he takes on hannibal.

abigail is still alive, will is in shock — his family, here, all together in the bloodstained floors of hannibal's home. and hannibal knows he's been betrayed. he's hurt, he's confused, he's scared. he has to honor will. he has to honor his family in the same way he should have honored mischa — they all go to jail when the fbi arrives. there is no place for them here and will has just destroyed their home. hannibal's imago, abigail's father, will's becoming. it's all been ruined.

so they have to die. hannibal cannot lose them. he guts will, holds him while he bleeds. the man he spent so long coaxing out of his curtains has returned— his shattered teacup has come together. they're back at square one.

hannibal tells will that he let him in, let him see. that he loved enough to let him through the walls of his person suit to probe the mind palace beyond and build himself a room — and that will's betrayal has crumbled that room to debris and dust. will is grappling to come to terms with the fact that hannibal bared himself for him without ulterior motive — he did the same in kind, and he tells hannibal so. he did want to see him. he did want to carve a home for himself in the dark excess of hannibal's mind. but he didn't know how to take it.

will has been honored — and hannibal wants to make him hurt the same way will had hurt him. betrayal.

he forgives him. he's allowed will to change him, and tear open the sutures of his heart to make room for himself and abigail. he's leaving hannibal to bleed out.

and abigail pays the price. the price of will's betrayal is betrayal in turn from hannibal — for both will and abigail. they are both meant to die in that kitchen — the way abigail and hannibal were meant to die in the hobbs' kitchen. time has reversed, changes have been made.

abigail will always be her father's child. will is always going to be powerless to save her.

and hannibal tells will that he can make it all go away. he can step back, slip into his stream and die peacefully. hannibal has made sure that their loss was on his own terms — that their death was for their benefit. he made a place for them, even in death.

and he leaves them to their deaths. jack, alana, abigail. will. they all lay in their respective resting places — will with his daughter and abigail with her father; jack, kept in the dark with his wife on the phone; and alana, alone on the pavement in the rain. all respective of the characterization and representation of the show, in their place as dictated by hannibal's story.
