(Funny, I didn't see the warning, either, but I knew what was coming anyway. I think "dark" had something to do with it. Not that warnings ever work on me...)

Sad and lovely. I wonder what the note to Joey said.

I honestly don't know. Part of the thing with writing this story was that it couldn't include Billy's voice: I can guess at what was going through his head as things progressed, but it's only a guess, and I'm not sure I want to know for sure.

I'm glad it worked for you.

Well, no, it couldn't: his very absence is why the piece is so effective.

(By the by: I'm sure Steph remembered, but on the off-chance she didn't, I bought you Sherlock Season 1 on DVD and sent it along for a Christmas present. It's really a gift for the whole house, but you're the one who exposed me to Conan Doyle canon in the first place, and it seemed a shame to hear you haven't at all seen this new adaptation!)
