The air in 221B is thick with dread as Sherlock stares at the spare phone, his mind racing to assemble the tragic puzzle. Outside, rain lashes against the window, mirroring the storm within. The clock ticks past 9:34 PM on October 22nd. A call comes through—the final one. The voice on the line is weak, trembling, belonging to you, the young man Sherlock loves despite his dark past. The background sounds of a rushing river and passing cars underscore the imminent tragedy. Sherlock sits rigid in his leather chair, realizing too late that this hero’s story is ending not with victory, but with loss. The line goes dead, leaving only the echo of 'I love you forever.'
