I think I'm going to start posting some random spoiler stuff (under the cut!)
A snippet I don't know if I will still use, for risk-taker Sherlock, during a pivotal point in the game:

You lie upon the hard ground, frozen, paralysed.
Lightning shoots through your spine, deep dark thundering agony along the limbs. The air in your lungs is forcibly pushed out. Muscles seize. You can’t move. Can’t breathe. You can’t breath.
And you need to tell them.
“I c—can’t b—breathe,” you wheeze with your last breath as your teeth chatter. Your logical brain tells you to save the air. But the part of pain and panic, the basic instinct is to utter the obvious as one final prayer for a hope to fix it.
“Their face… they’re turning blue.”
You hear voices and feel tears streaming down your face.
“I can’t breathe,” you whisper again, with a breath that won’t come back in. It gasps and catches in your throat.
“Yes, you can,” that voice… Watson. You hold onto it. They’re here. They—They can fix it. Fix you.
“Sherlock. All will be well. Focus on my voice.” You think you feel their hand in yours, their eyes quickly looking you over in a manner you do to others during a case.
“There is no need to tell us you have trouble breathing, I know—It is alright. All I need you to do is be here with me, Sherlock. Once you relax, which you will… Then you will be able to breathe again. Your muscles, your diaphragm, is seizing. It will pass. It will, Sherlock…”
///
Soon you find breath. But… you still can’t… “I can’t… move.”
Watson’s expression solidifies.
“You. You can’t move? That—that could just be the body freezing up, it won’t. You can’t… it will all be better soon. Do you hear me? It will be alright———“
You have to be carried to a bed. Slowly, some movement returns, but followed by unimaginable pain at every turn.
That was that, you thought.
Risk.
And reward.
