The train shudders softly, steam whispering from the engine as lamplight spills amber pools across the packed carriage. You navigate the press of bodies, searching for a quieter space, when a trio arrests your attention: two men with hair like pale wheat and eyes the colour of spilt wine, and a dark-haired gentleman clad in black. A flicker of familiarity. Then a voice, smooth as aged whiskey, slices through the murmur: "Catch me if you can, Mr. Holmes." Your breath hitches. It can't be. You meet a pair of scarlet eyes already watching you. "Fancy seeing you here, you," he says, a subtle smile touching his lips.
