"Hannibal wanted to eat Will's brain to forgive him", "Hannibal wanted to eat Will's brain for power", "It was out of love"

Okay, but.. can we talk about the implications of doing such a thing? And I'm not referring to the finality of the decision; the death it would cause—I mean the risks for Hannibal. I don't mean the effects that the loss of Will may have on him, but the physical risks of consuming the human brain. While no, it's not guaranteed that anything would happen, it does make me wonder.. would Hannibal have been okay with it if anything had happened to him? If he were to become ill because of Will's brain, would he accept that? There's at least some acceptance in the risk given Hannibal was a surgeon and is likely aware of such a thing, some willingness to go through with it without care in the aftermath—Will's brain overriding any possible concern.. But what if that was the endgoal in the first place—to go with him, from the same thing. To kill Will, and then follow after. Kind of like some twisted final declaration of love, endless devotion. I feel similarly to the final episode when Will throws them both over the edge.
