    Summary

    John looks up, but the moonlight blinds him. He thinks he hears a shout, maybe a gunshot, but the well makes the sound echo into something indiscriminate. Sherlock’s up there somewhere, but he can’t see him.

    He can hear him though.

    He can still hear him.

    “I love you.”

    And one man in his time plays many parts"
    -William Shakespeare
