Two years of silence. Two years since you watched Sherlock plummet from St. Bart’s, a sacrifice for Moriarty’s game. She mourned, she healed, she moved on. But grief is a stubborn ghost. Tonight, exhaustion drags her into her flat. She seeks comfort in ritual: tea, as they used to share. The set is missing. Then, she sees it on the coffee table. Steam curls from a cup held by a dark silhouette in a long coat. “You always *did* make better tea than I.” The switch clicks. Light floods the room, revealing Sherlock Holmes, pristine and alive, staring back at her.
