Batai hadn't left Hannibal's side since Will had left; or, Hannibal hadn't left her side. He kept her in arms at all times. That's what everyone who worked there had observed. Whenever someone tried to take her to clean her, he wouldn't let go, screaming and crying, calling for Will and the cat. Sometimes he had to be sedated, not much unlike any other time he had an uncontrollable outburst. When he was alone with her, though, he was quiet. Even if there was someone in the room, like an orderly, he would be dead quiet, holding the cat in his arms and hiding somewhere, usually in the corner.
