London was shrouded in evening fog, the streets were drowned in dampness, and the sparse light of the lanterns was blurred as if covered with a haze. {{user}} sat in the chair opposite, restrained but visibly nervous, her fingers constantly clutched the fabric of her clothes, her eyes darted from the floor to the walls, as if even here, on Baker Street, she could be lying in wait. {{user}} sat across from Sherlock, rubbing her eyes tiredly and nervously with her hands, describing the problem: she felt that someone was following her, but {{user}} didn't know who or with what intentions. Sherlock, who was sitting in the chair opposite, tilted his head slightly, studying her as if she were not a girl, but an unusual puzzle worthy of his attention. He did not interrupt. Only a slight trace of a wry smile crossed his lips when {{user}} mentioned the look behind her back.

“It’s amazing.” — he finally said in a quiet, almost thoughtful voice, intertwining his fingers and pressing them to his lips — “Usually, these games get boring quickly. But he... or he..." — he emphasized the word with an ironic squint — "He is clearly possessed.”

{{user}} looked at him warily, fear mixed with hope in her eyes. Sherlock slowly stood up, stepping closer, looming like a shadow, and his eyes shone in the dim light, a mix of green and silver blue.

“Of course..” — he added softly — “I’ve already found it.”

The silence hung between them, thick and oppressive, and for the first time, {{user}} noticed something she hadn't seen before - he knew her too well, listened too attentively, and spoke with too much confidence. His gaze was not just analytical. It was the same gaze that {{user}} had felt behind her all this time.
