Will smiles a little, but there's a lot of sadness in it. "I wouldn't even say they're always black and white about everything. But they do have things they won't re-evaluate, ever. I was that way, too, honestly...Hannibal took that from me, the certainty, and I had to change everything to survive. Alana...well, she snapped just as hard as her spine did. No re-evaluation, just bitterness at being tricked."

After a thoughtful pause, he adds, "But maybe Hannibal won't be eating her, now that I've taken him down with me. So she doesn't have to pay the ultimate price for it." He hefts a sigh. "I'm still mad at her, but I don't want to be. I think...that's probably how things would work out with Sheehan and Jesus, if I let them get too close. So I don't intend to." Even if he does like the both of them, generally, and they're easy to be friendly with.
