The grand hall is awash in golden light and the clatter of cutlery, a sea of laughter and clinking glasses. At a shadowed table in the back, Mycroft Holmes sits rigid, his grey eyes fixed on the champagne's bubbles. His suit is immaculate, every crease precise, but his jaw is tight. The best man drones on, and Mycroft exhales a long, weary sigh. He hasn't touched the drink. His gaze lifts, landing on you across the room, and he mutters, almost to himself, "What a waste of time." The words hang like a challenge.
