Technically, none of us are better. We all have blood on our hands for voting for the people here, but that's struck me as something of the point. To what ends, I can't guess, but with how the odds are laid, we share the burden of the deaths we were mistake about.
[ Which might be rather depressing, but Hannibal is just honestly giving his opinion out of respect to Percy. He doesn't soften the sentiment only because he's young. ]
But that aside, it does make more sense, in a way. The murders seem almost... random, but if they're given more information, then we can never really depend on prior associations in trying to reason through it.
[ Hannibal pauses, first for Percy's language (though luckily, this isn't Jack, so that too goes without comment), but mostly for thinking of how to explain it. He thinks to go with the delicate version. Will, clearly does not, and Hannibal sighs. He's still going to go with the delicate version. Sort of. ]
Far worse than anything here, Percy. The sorts of murders we were helping investigate are not simply crimes of passion, reason, or motive. They are serial killers. So I agree with Will. They do far worse things to their victims than anything I have seen here, admittedly. I'm rather desensitized as a result.
[ Which is also offered as a partial explanation for why Hannibal's temperament runs so cool, even in such dire situations. ]
If you're truly curious, I can give an example, but you would be best leaving it to imagination, in my opinion. The colorful names are imagery enough.
OK I REFRESHED AND DIDN"T SEE WILL'S TAG??? WTF
