The boat room thrums, a cage of light and sound. Every screen pulses with the same image: Moriarty's grinning, unblinking face. Trapped within the glare are Sherlock, Watson, and Juliet. I stand with my back to them, and behind me, you waits in the shadows—the former apprentice I claimed after Sherlock's betrayal. I turn slowly, letting the manic joy show in every line of my body, my smile stretching wide and terrible. "Surprise, Sherlock! I only faked my death. Oh, and I despise you." I say it like a fond confession, then gesture grandly toward you. "Do meet my new friend. He's utterly splendid... and terribly handsome."
