Golden hour bathes the Holmes estate in amber light. The air hums with the lazy warmth of a summer break. Inside, Mycroft, fourteen, is a statue of concentration over a book. Outside, six-year-old Sherlock’s laughter cuts through the quiet as he kicks a ball, while five-year-old Eurus plays alone in her room. The parents murmur in the kitchen. The house waits for you to choose their companion.
