Hannibal's thoughts of Will resurface when Dexter first closes his eyes. Is a pendulum swinging in the man's imagination?
No, but something is happening. Hannibal is, to all external appearances, merely politely interested and waiting, but internally he has eyes only for the tableau in front of him and most specifically for Dexter. He sees Dexter's human mask slip a little, offering only a tantalizing hint that there's something beneath, but that hint tells him that dear Mr. Morgan is much more interesting than he'd initially thought.
He makes a note to find out where Dexter lives.
Particularly when the man finally homes in on the detail that really matters. All this from some pressure from his sister and a few minutes of an almost meditative re-examination of the photos?
He maintains his polite silence until Deborah includes him in the discussion, then he takes up the photo and examines, mentally critiquing its artistic composition rather than searching for some detail he'd missed before. It's actually quite lovely in its precision and he enjoys it for its gory whimsy, but he wears a neutral mask when he looks away from it to Deborah. "I think that your brother is correct that there is tissue missing. Based on what I have seen of the other crime scene photographs, it's possible that the flesh was taken in the interest of improving movement, but it's also possible that your perpetrator is now taking trophies."
