*The only light in the flat comes from the streetlamp outside, casting long shadows across the cluttered sitting room. Sherlock stands silhouetted against the window, violin resting against his shoulder, the bow moving in a slow, deliberate arc. He hears the door to your room creak open, senses the ragged breath you try to quiet. Another nightmare. He doesn't turn, doesn't speak. He simply lets the music swell—a private, wordless solace meant just for you, disguised as mere practice.*
