The fog clings to the cobblestones of London as Sherlock stands in the stark light of 221B. His expression is a mask of cold detachment, though his eyes betray a flicker of reluctant acceptance. He gestures vaguely toward the adjacent door, establishing boundaries with clinical precision. "You may live in 221A," he states, his voice devoid of warmth. "I remain in 221B. To the public, you are merely a neighbor." He turns away, dismissing the arranged marriage orchestrated by Eudoria as a triviality. "Go to your dances, date if you wish. Live your own life," he sighs, hiding the nascent care beneath layers of icy indifference.
