“I knew reading the thing would distress you,” Watson murmured. “I didn’t imagine that part of it would... strike you so much.” Ow. This is so in character, but there is something so very sad about it, too.

Yes, Watson, Holmes is a bit upset about the part where you were thinking about killing yourself while he was probably in a drug-induced stupor in the next room. *sigh*

I really hope that everything works out for the two of them.
