My partner, in actuality, hails from a different country altogether! From Japan, far across the sea.
[He pauses for a moment, one hand coming up to remove his pipe as he exhales a long puff of smoke.]
You may call his identity in the actual stories something of a… mix-up, but that is a long and sordid tale. He has since returned to Japan, but our cases have been immortalized through the written word, regardless.
[ A pause, as he tries to work through something in his head. In the wake of this last game, the very first one they did together seems like ages ago, but... ]
Is that who you were talkin' about before? A bittersweet goodbye?
They are at least a month's travel by sea apart. Not a trip one makes on a whim; but to answer your question, I had recently considered visiting Japan to pay them all a visit. Get away from London for a bit, see what mysteries a foreign land has to offer a great detective. I know that Iris would have loved it.
And yet I did have the opportunity to meet so many strange and interesting people in this place. I would not have met Phoenix without being thrown in prison! [He laughs.] And I would not have met you. So it is not so bad.
Ha! Then Irene Adler will sit future dates out from now on. I suppose you are simply stuck with me, Mr Inui, for the foreseeable future. I, at least, will spare your sanity to some degree.

He was not the only one who left, but yes. He was a part of that group.

Goin' back to your earlier question, I think I prefer Herlock Sholmes to Ms. Adler.

And why is that? Ms Adler is far more beautiful, and at least ten times more mysterious.
