I can’t get over the fact that Sherlock knew exactly where to go when MP Molly told him “to control the pain”.
If he has a specific room, that must mean he’s had to control the “pain” before. Not just any pain either. MP Moriarty even said what kind: Pain, heartbreak, loss & death.
Well, we see him die.
What about pain? We’ve seen him experience pain before.
But what about heartbreak? This is obviously about John.
And loss? He lost Redbeard before and most recently lost John.
And then there’s this scene:
He’s asking himself that question. The devoid of emotions, hard, cold, “sociopath” self. And then his inner self (MP Moriarty) reminds him that he always feels it. And that he doesn’t have to fear it anymore. That its okay to feel, even if most of the time its unpleasant feelings.
Sometimes I forget this is all inside his head.
