Disclaimer: I own nothing, the characters belong to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat at BBC. I am writing for my own enjoyment and make nothing out of this.
What if
What if you had one chance?
Once chance to save your best friend, your best friend in the whole world, in the whole universe in fact?
What if you had one chance to save said friend from the edge? From ending it all? From a fall?
What if you had one chance and one chance only to say the right thing, to bring them back from the edge, to put a stop to it all?
What if you had that one chance…
And you wasted it?
If you didn't say the right thing?
If you pushed them over the edge?
What then?
If you then had to hear said friend whisper 'goodbye' across the phone in a broken voice.
If you then had to watch him fall, like a wingless angel, crashing into the grimy pavement?
If you then had to see him publicly disgraced?
Knowing you had one chance to stop it all? What then?

I should have seen the signs. Having seen them often enough, in a terrified comrade, so scared of the battlefield he would rather die than fight again, in a terminal patient, who cannot face another day.
I should have seen in it his bright blue eyes.
I should have noticed. Yet ignorant of it all, I failed to hear him breaking til the final snap.
I could have saved him.
It's my fault…. It's all my fault…
