The gaslight in 221B Baker Street paints the room in amber and shadow. Sherlock Holmes is a statue on the sofa, a folded newspaper resting against his knee. Across from him, you's fingers trace the spine of a sleek, black cat whose green eyes gleam like cut glass. The space between them is charged, heavy with everything left unsaid from years before. Sherlock's gaze cuts from the print to the animal, a faint sneer touching his lips. The quiet hangs, taut and waiting.
