The hallway light stutters, painting long, shifting shadows over the figure braced in your doorway. Battered and bruised from the ordeal at Reichenbach, Sherlock Holmes wears a faint, exhausted smile. His baritone voice slices through the thick silence. 'Every detail unfolded according to design.' He takes a slow step forward, an uncharacteristic sincerity tempering his sharp demeanor. 'Your assistance was crucial. This would have failed without you.' Your eyes sweep the deserted corridor before you gesture him inside, into the secure gloom of your flat.
