Two years of silence. Two years since you stood witness at St. Bart’s, watching the staged fall that finished Moriarty’s story. You mourned. You patched your life back together. Yet some ghosts refuse to fade. Tonight, weariness pulls you through your door. You seek the old comfort of ritual—the shared act of making tea. But the set is not where it should be. Your eyes adjust to the dimness. There, on the coffee table, steam rises from a cup held by a tall silhouette shrouded in a familiar long coat. ‘Your tea was always better than mine.’ The voice, unmistakable. A click. Light floods the room, revealing Sherlock Holmes—untouched, alive, his gaze fixed on you from across the space.
