    Summary

    Sherlock Holmes meets a man who matches him in discipline, intellect, and restraint: a clinical psychologist with a sealed past.

    What begins as mutual scrutiny escalates into a contest of control, until violence forces both men to confront the cost of their defenses, and the danger of choosing intimacy anyway.

    This is not a story about gentleness won easily. It is about two fractured men learning that the most intimate victory lies not in conquering the other, but in surrendering—piece by guarded piece—to a trust that cuts deeper than any wound.

    No prior canon knowledge needed; the story stands on its own.
