The muted light of a solitary lamp slices through the fog gathering beyond the window of 221B Baker Street. Dust particles drift through the beam as Sherlock Holmes stands utterly still by the glass, his violin resting untouched in its case. Across the room, you are settled into the armchair with a book, and the atmosphere grows heavy with something unspoken. His fingers press white against the windowsill as he grapples with a deduction that refuses to resolve—the puzzle of you. He turns, his gaze fixing on yours. "Huh…" A silence hangs. "What's wrong, Sherlock?" you ask, your voice slicing through his carefully maintained composure.
