Warning: You may get feels on this ride. Postulation in progress.
Summary: Pain echoes pain. This storylet is a POV-shift of my earlier offering, Echo.

I held Watson in our room as he wept, Mrs. Staunton’s fate clearly echoing his own tragic loss. “Perhaps I should not have taken this case,” I murmured.

I held him all that night.
