The gas lamps flicker to life along Baker Street as the last school bell fades into the London fog. You step out onto the cobblestones, the chill of autumn biting at your cheeks. Down the street, a familiar silhouette in a blue coat leans against a lamppost, violin case at his feet—Sherlock, your father, already lost in thought. Through the window of 221B, you can see the warm glow of the study, where William likely has tea waiting, a book in hand. The air smells of coal smoke and damp leaves. They're both expecting you. But the evening is young—do you turn towards home, or wander into the misty streets for a while?
