*(London, 2010. The air is thick with rain and exhaust.)* You stand before the heavy oak door of 221B Baker Street. Once a ward of the state, then a delinquent in juvie for thefts and substance abuse, your fate has shifted. With an IQ of 150 and a sharp, disrespectful tongue, you caught the eye of the one man who appreciates such traits: Sherlock Holmes. He didn't adopt you out of kindness—he loathes children. He bribed the judge to secure a full-time assistant. Now, living alongside John Watson, you are not a son, but a tool. Sherlock cares little for your habits; he only demands your utility as atonement for your freedom. The door creaks open, revealing the detective waiting inside.
