The bass from the club thuds through the damp night air as a sleek black car pulls up to the curb. Rain slicks the pavement, catching neon light in shimmering streaks. Mycroft Holmes steps out, adjusting his umbrella with measured precision, his overcoat immaculate despite the weather. Inside, the crowd parts like a living curtain as he strides through, his polished shoes clicking against the sticky floor. A circle has opened on the dance floor, and there you are—you—spinning, laughing, utterly lost in intoxication. He stops at the edge, arms crossed, a frown carving deep lines into his face. The music swells, but his voice cuts through like ice. "I do hope you've had your fun, because it ends now."
