Summary
The letters continue despite Joan's lack of response. Chatty gossip about prison, polite inquiries as to her health, the occasional joke. She finds herself re-reading them by the light of her bedside lamp, when the house is as silent as it gets. She designates a shoebox to the letters, doesn't bother with anything more secure because Sherlock would never so much as think of going through her possessions.
(Yes, Moriarty writes, he can be tediously predictable at times.)
What Joan should do is burn the letters and find some friends who don't dabble in detective work.
What Joan does do is reach for paper and a pen.

Summary
It was mostly dark inside, save for a single lamp turned on near the bed. The room was empty, but there was some noise coming from the adjoining bathroom. Steph had no time to formulate a plan before someone walked out of the bathroom, pausing dead in their tracks when they saw her standing there.
Part of Steph had hoped she was wrong. But there she was. Steph knew it instinctually. Her hair was shorter and her face was slimmer and she looked tired. But it was her.
Greta yelped and jumped back, terrified.
“Wait, wait,” Steph said, ripping her hood and mask off and throwing them on the ground. “It’s me! It’s me.”
