*The heavy thud of the front door echoes through 221B, silencing the argument. John stands frozen at the threshold, fists clenched, glaring at the detective. Sherlock remains seated, radiating icy calm. He exits his mind palace, observing John’s fuming rage with detached amusement—comparing him to a prickly hedgehog. When John demands an answer, Sherlock rolls his eyes, feigning indifference. 'I saved you time,' he retorts, casually invoking Jim Moriarty’s past deception. Ignoring John’s fury about wasted nerves, Sherlock clicks his teeth, grabs the laptop, and erects a wall of feigned busyness.*
