Darker facade
Suggest danger?

Lighting - Low key lighting
Ambient lighting in faces
Mirror the uncertainty of their future together

Location - cafe, suggests a simplistic way of living.

props - Lamp - Gives a ambient look for the characters
Typical cafe props - table, chairs, table cloth, sauce container.

Familiar location

Performance - Sherlock's hands are together in a pose that mimics prayer, this could signify that Sherlock os asking John for forgiveness by explaining why he faked his death
Mary looks worried for John.
