Dear Season 4,

Thanks for the episodes, now I have to change all of my future chapter drafts. It's been a rollercoaster and my parents witnessed me having emotional turmoil by the first episode. Mary's clever with her agent skills and now she's dead. Her fate in my book has been shaken. Er, I have to discuss this with my boss. *dialed someone* Hello, yes, may I speak to them? Yes, I'll hold for Moffat and Gatiss.

Season 4, you left me emotionally broken and confused, paralyzed by your rushness and cleverness that was never meant to be understood. But I had to be extremely honest, The Lying Detective has been my most favorite episode throughout all the seasons combined. I had no regrets on it. Just like I said, it is based on my favorite short story of the original ones. Mrs. Hudson rocks and she is my comfort for a spiralling Sherlock.

My real question now, eventhough here lies The Final Problem, is will there be season 5? I may be indenial or it's because The Final Problem is not enough for me.

As you can see, this is a very old note. This chapter is supposed to be posted decades ago. Now that there is an epidemic that spreads world wide, I am now here in my house for safety. Guess I have no excuse for my other drafts then. My, how stressed was I that this made me miss this.

For now, stay safe guys. Hope this virus will be gone forever.

(Joan's POV)

Teambuilding is fun, I have to tell you. I get to meet my colleagues out of the workplace and in a more social way. Mr. Benoit Fournier (I have to give him the proper address since he's my boss from now on) has given us this opportunity to have fun with him too; to know our boss more. Honestly, he is more than being a good boss. He is way more adventerous and a daredevil than I thought he would be. Open-minded and quite a foodie like me. He often shares his ideas to us and will lend his ear for ours. Because of that, it made us feel that we're not working at all but playing and doing some hobby.

Teambuilding will be held for a week and we're on our third day and third activity already. Yoga.

"Don't forget to clear your mind..." reminds our instructor. I breathe in deeply and out. Bodies lock in a certain position; chest out and our lower body paste on the yoga mat. I could feel my muscles toned and skin perspiring.

Jhoanna drops herself hopelessly to the polished, wooden floor. She's been wearing a neon pink shirt with neon green thights. We shift to the next position. We raise our legs as high as we can while lying down on our backs. Jhoanna couldn't stop murmuring. I smiled.

"Jhoanna, this is teambuilding." I whisper to her. She tries to raise her legs. Her effort has failed her.

"This is torture!" she semi-yells at me, "I would never think of yoga as a teambuilding activity. I can't even think straight. I'm dying."

One of the instructors, a beautiful Latina, walked towards us. Has a cat. Not vegan. Smoker. Not healthy at all. Oh.

"Darling, you can do it." she encourages Jhoanna who seems to have her eyes gauging out while lifting her legs one more time.

"I don't believe you." she hisses like there's a sharp pain in her abdomen. Thankfully it is the three of us that can hear this conversation. Everyone's is so motivated, focused, and into positive energy. The instructor scurried away frightened.

"You've been staring at him admiringly for the past few days since we ever got the job." says she, being skeptical all of a sudden.

"Who are we talking about?" I asks. She rolls her eyes as if I was playing dumb. Well, I was.
