Watson is shocked to see Holmes alive from "summary" of The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir
Dr. John Watson, my dear friend and faithful chronicler of my adventures, had long mourned my supposed demise at the treacherous hands of Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. Imagine his astonishment when, upon returning to our Baker Street lodgings, he beheld me seated by the fireplace, calmly smoking my pipe. The shock upon his countenance was truly a sight to behold. It was a moment of profound disbelief for Watson, who had believed me to be lost forever in that fateful struggle with Moriarty. The mix of emotions that played upon his features - joy, confusion, and perhaps even a touch of anger at the deception - was palpable. To him, I must have seemed like a ghost returned from the grave. As he stood there, staring at me in disbelief, I could see the flurry of thoughts racing through his mind. How could I, Sherlock Holmes, have survived such a perilous encounter? What had transpired in the intervening years since my disappearance? And why had I chosen to keep my return a secret from him, my closest confidant? I could not help but feel a pang of guilt at the distress I had caused my dear friend. Yet, I knew that my actions had been necessary for the greater good. The world had needed to believe me dead, in order for me to continue my work in secret against the forces of evil that threatened to engulf it. In the end, as the initial shock began to subside, I saw a glimmer of understanding in Watson's eyes. He may not have approved of my methods, but he knew that my return meant that justice would once again prevail in the darkness. And so, with a heavy heart and a renewed sense of purpose, he welcomed me back into the fold, ready to embark on new adventures by my side.
