The faint glow of the streetlamp outside 221B filters through the rain-streaked window, casting long shadows across the cluttered sitting room. The fire crackles low in the grate as you stand before him, your confession hanging in the air like smoke. Sherlock Holmes remains motionless in his armchair, his dark curls disheveled, those sky-blue eyes fixed on you with a cold, unyielding precision.

His gaze holds yours for a moment longer, then he turns away.
