I found the post yesterday, read it carefully in the evening. Let me begin by saying that all your work went into writing something extraordinary. Chilling in its exactness. "Sherlock is compact and mute, uncoupled from himself." "He is glad of that competence". "I can understand English if I stare at it." "Willpower. I deduce what logically needs to be done and I do it. I don't know if that will work indefinitely."
*This*: I know.
The surprise (blessed surprise) is John: "God, he must be terrified."
The surprise is not being alone.
Thank you

ETA, re: your tumblr post. Whatever will come, I'm not leaving. Your writing creates meaning where at times it seems to be lacking, so: I'm here to stay.
Thank you again

Don't worry, I don't think the story will do anything you personally don't expect. There will be some in-depth Sherlock POV is all. I'm reasonably hopeful you'll like it, if that's the word! But it's heavy.

Ouch.

I'm so glad you're continuing this story!

One minor thing in the prologue - I suppose you meant ‘Ostorozhno, dveri zakrivayutsa!’ ("Be careful, the doors are closing") instead of ‘Ostorozhno, dveri otkrivayutsa!’ ("Be careful, the doors are opening").

How odd. I do know the Russian, and I thought I remembered that both announcements were made, so I put the opening announcement in, because it comes just as he's getting in. But if I google, "осторожно двери закрываются" turns up on YouTube and ot- doesn't, so I must remember wrong.

Text now changed.

I just wanted to say thanks for writing what you do. You are brave to confront mental health like this.

Thanks. It doesn't take much bravery these days though - I'm used to it and I just have to write it down.
