Corina's greatest fear is starting to happen in her head.
For the first time Fascio did not come home.
Was he really that affected? He hated her that much?
At 28, he's old enough to be someone's father.
Then again he has the mind of someone half that age.
She hid him from the world.
He's still considered a freak to those whose minds are closed.
To her he is precious; to Luna he will be too.
There's no such thing as normal in their family anyway.
It's their curse; the world's way of putting the wheels in balance.
Maybe the universe is getting back at her for all her wrongdoings.
She did a great deal of Evil to many.
But she considers herself selfless when it comes to family; then she thought of Hannibal.
The word selfless is not that appropriate anymore.
But God! she's willing to go back to when it was just her and her son... well she's adding Luna to that now.
Her heart broke as she thought of the fact that she would give up everything she has if it meant her son could be normal.
She can't call the police; her son is non existent.
It would stir up questions if she did.
She couldn't stay still, he's never run off like that before; nor has he been away this long.
Is he in danger?
Maybe she's just thinking too much.
Maybe he's just out there somewhere thinking... or stalking Luna as usual.
Speaking of Luna; she hasn't seen her niece and it's been what? three days since the party?
She remembered the relief she and Fascio felt when they found her.
Finally their family is expanding.
Finally they have someone unlike them; she's more normal than both of them put together.
They had to be with her; She had to be with them.
Luminosi's should be together.
They self distruct when they are on their own... that's already a proven fact.
She should go visit Luna and see how she's doing.
Luna and Fascio are not blood related but they are the same in a lot of ways.
They are both untainted by the hussle and bussle of life.
Their immediate company remain their only influences.
Then she remembered Luna's unpleasant birthday; she contributed to that experience.
A sting of guilt hit her, remembering Luna's panicked face after she went berserk on her in that kitchen.
The way Luna was shaking in the hall.
The way she called out "Aunt" as if she was apologizing.
Luna had nothing to apologize for.
I was the one in the wrong and I'm supposed to be the grown up.
She has to change and she will... For her son... For Luna... For their family.
Corina stood up decided.
Her son will return; he's going through a lot right now.
Maybe she should have him see Hannibal for a consult; she'll get to that.
For now, it's Luna; she needs to get her on their side.
She'll tell Luna the truth, she will understand.
Hannibal only realized he fell asleep when he woke up.
His neck was strained.
It must be because he woke up exactly the way he fell asleep; on his side without a pillow.
Even in his sleep he was a gentleman; he refused to make even the slightest movement that may wake up Luna.
He had to assist in one of Jack Crawford's case today.
He worries about leaving Luna on her own.
Then again isn't she used to that? he asked himself.
Is he getting too attached; too worried maybe?
The woman survived her blindness on her own for God sake!
She has her vision now; by medical standards she can even go home tonight.
Her temperature has been normal for 8 hours now.
Then a blinking light caught his attention.
It's his phone on the foyer.
Alana's calling... Probably to remind him about the Lunch date.
Luna was supposed to have Lunch with Will yesterday
They had to cancel due to the hospital stint.
That Radiotherapist's behavior won't be forgotten he thought.
It's definitely in the "Food bank".
The blinking stopped.
He missed the call; Alana would understand, he had to keep his phone silent.
What's wrong with him? He took a robe out of his closet and walked straight to the shower.
He's supposed to meet Jack Crawford in the field.
He had to hurry; call time is an hour before Lunch.
Will Graham kept fidgeting, he's supposed to prepare lunch for Alana and Luna
He's supposed to feed his dogs too.
He's supposed to clean the house before 11:00 am.
Where does he start.
Managing his day seemed a lot easier when his brain was swollen and to think he was losing time then.
He smiled at his own foolish analysis.
Well he's talking to himself, he can basically say anything; he won't judge.
He went out and placed dog bowls on the floor.
The weather was perfect he thought.
Windy... and cool.
He came back in to prepare his ingredients.
Luna enjoys breakfast, Alana enjoys anything he makes.
He can make breakfast for Lunch then...
His dogs were quiet now; that seems to be the common effect of food to anything that breathes.
It's time to clean up...
His living room is set, so is his dining space.
His room? never mind that... they won't go inside their anyway...
time is ticking... it's 10:00 now.
Will went into the shower to clean up.
They should be here any minute.
Alana got out of her car, she was picking up Luna for Lunch at Will's.
They are going to be late that's for sure.
"Hannibal will let her go out" she told herself not to worry.
She was in-front of the door now.
This was supposed to be Luna's last day at Hannibal's.
The three of them are celebrating; a little sleepover at Luna's.
Alana hasn't told her yet; but Luna will be up for it she's sure of it.
Take outs - Luna is always up for take outs.
The door opened before she even knocked.
"Good morning Alana" Hannibal greeted with a captivating smile.
"Good morning Hannibal!" she replied, a confused smile plastered on her face.
"You can wait here, Luna's getting ready" Alana went in and sat on a chair.
Alana noticed he's prepped up for a day out. "Are you going out too?" she asked.
"Jack" he said, Alana nodded in understanding.
"My apologies, it took me a while to remove the bandage on her foot" Hannibal was explaining the cause for Luna's delay.
"It's okay, i know a few shortcuts we will get there in time." Alana acknowledged.
Luna came down stairs with all of her things; Hannibal stared at her with a question in his head.
As if Luna could read his mind "I thought it would be best if Dr. Bloom can drop me home after lunch instead?"
"Of course! that's exactly what i was thinking on my way here" Alana said.
Hannibal didn't know what to say there was silence but not to long for it to be awkward.
"Alright then, i'll see you on your next session" Hannibal said with composure.
Luna gave him a sweet smile, his apprehensions faded.
"Let's go" Alana gestured to the door.
"I'll take that" Hannibal took Luna's bags and helped both of them out.
Once settled he closed the car door and walked towards where he was parked.
Hannibal watched from the driver seat.
Alana's car became smaller and smaller.
He needed this; and Luna probably knew.
Well she needs it too.
Corina knocked on Luna's door.
No one's home.
Where could her niece be?
Did she stay at Hannibal's?
Wait... She probably did... She was injured.
Corina decided to head for Hannibal's
