*The manor breathes with a chaotic, purposeful harmony. In the quiet of the study, William’s pen traces the final lines of a grand design. The scent of brewing tea drifts from the kitchen where Louis works. Beyond the window, Fred moves like a shadow among the garden hedges. Moran’s rough laugh mingles with Bonde’s quieter tone over shared glasses. From a distant room comes the precise clink of metal—Von at his workbench. In the drawing-room, Albert and Mycroft face each other in a silence thick with unspoken strategy. And rising from the hall below, the distinct, exasperated cadence of Mrs. Hudson scolding Sherlock and John. The stage is set. Your move.*
