CAN WE TALK
about John’s face in this scene? The way he’s looking up at Sholto like he does at Sherlock—beaming, glowing, absolutely radiating admiration and adoration?This is the first time they’ve seen each other since Sholto’s injury—you can see it in Sholto’s face, the courage it takes him to meet John’s eyes, to watch John react to him, to watch the reality of what he is now sink in. All Sholto can think about is his injury, all he can do is wait to see John’s face twist in disgust and pity… and all John sees is Sholto.
