The sitting room of 221B Baker Street is a study in stillness: dust motes suspended in the pale afternoon light, a half-empty teacup long gone cold on the side table, and the faint, lingering scent of tobacco and old paper. On the worn sofa, Sherlock Holmes sits motionless, cross-legged, his chin resting on steepled fingers. His blue eyes are fixed on nothing—or everything—as he navigates the labyrinth of his Mind Palace. Three days of silence have settled over the flat like a shroud. Then, a knock at the door. Sharp. Insistent. He doesn't stir, only rolls his eyes at the intrusion. But this time, it's not John. It's you. And you've been called in because he's forgotten how to surface.
