    Summary

    It's the night before Sherlock comes back after being gone for almost two years. His mask of invulnerability and control briefly slips... what will that mean for the future?

     

    He ran his fingers through his long curls, “Tomorrow is the day I will officially return to society. I’ve agreed to cut my hair, shave, and even wear a suit again. Tomorrow I will return to being Sherlock Holmes.”

    She asked, “If tomorrow you return to being Sherlock Holmes, who are you now?”

    He bent forward, his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. “I don’t know who I am now. No longer on a mission, not yet returned to the living. I’m in between. Tonight I’m no one.”
