I can see Will and Hannibal inspiring a murder ballad or two after the fall. The POV could be different depending on what version of the story people wanna believe. Would it speak of Hannibal as a corrupting devil, and Will the victim? Or would it be a tale of two monsters who are human enough to love each to the point of obsession, who you're never quite sure died but still haunt society's heart? Something else, somewhere in between? In the end, the truth is what you believe late at night, when lost among the crooning of the lyrics, a twig is heard snapping or footsteps are falling. It's too far away to pinpoint where it is, but not far away enough for comfort.
