but dont get me wrong i could definitely give explanations to why he reacted the way that he did abt mary's death but cant really defend that (in terms of what he did to Sherlock) or the cheating on mary (which is so ooc and i dont consider canon🫶)
So yeah uh the end of TLD was uh Sherlock’s birthday and uh John’s gift was uh bloodshot eyes, laceration on the eyebrow, probably bruises on his sides, and news that he cheated on his wife when she was still alive. Happy birthday, Sherlock.
