Summary
The door makes a sound as it opens, which means that John’s meant to know that he isn’t alone anymore. It can’t have been more than an hour since the violin stopped screeching and let him sleep, so he’s not here in the room so much as here in the bed, which is warm. The door woke him, but the cool air on his face orients him, and he groans.
--Sherlock has been back for two months, and John is still angry.

Summary
John wakes to an empty bed and the threat of more severe derealisation that he’s felt since Sherlock’s return. He inhales possibility as he rises and waits in front of his door, afraid to see what’s outside. There could be dinosaurs out there, or an empty flat. Sherlock could be hanging from the rafters or sleeping naked on the settee. John lingers in the not knowing, letting his mind leave him until it’s too much and he has to do anything to ground himself.
