Mrs Hudson had brought tea and I found Holmes to be in unusually expansive mode, almost chatty.

The Professor has one weakness, Watson. He thinks that I hate him for being sharper than I am. He doesn't understand that I love him for it. That's what lets me see with his eyes, and that is how I will get him. He's finished already, Watson. I will miss him when he's gone. Ah, Mrs Hudson, yes please, we'd love to have some more of your excellent cucumber sandwiches, thank you.

In July 2004, we visited Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, where Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty fought with each other in “The Final Problem”. #ReichenbachFalls #Switzerland #SherlockHolmes #ProfessorMoriarty #TheFinalProblem

Hence. Holmes spoke abruptly, after a long silence. Hence Lestrade and his AI toy machines will never know anything of value about Moriarty. The Professor thinks. Lestrade and his machines have no idea what that even means.

I tell you, Watson, a single day with Moriarty as my enemy is worth more to me than a year with Lestrade and his machines as my allies. Life, Watson, life! Oh I am so bored by the automatons.

Curious, Watson, most curious. The text is written like a Linkedin post, and the argument is entirely circular. Moriarty clearly has used chatGPT to write this text, Watson. He must know that I recognise this immediately. What is he trying to tell us? This is a three-pipe problem, Watson.

Watson, pray tell me ... . Ah, never mind.

Holmes briefly had raised his head when he spoke, but he immediately turned back to his phone and continued typing his drafts. I knew these would never be sent, and he had told me they would not be saved. It was a long, gloomy night. Would we find him a new case? Where was Moriarty?
