Wailing

Sherlock could never understand why people wailed when they lost something or someone. As he always said, he was a sociopath, he couldn't understand how people's minds or their emotions work. It was all a mystery to him.

Even when he met John and became a bit more human, he still didn't have the capability to understand emotions. For him, anything you lost could be replaced.

That is, until John left and got married, leaving Sherlock behind. That is when he finally understood why those people wailed. There was no other way to express the sadness and hurt that flowed inside you.

That was also when Sherlock decided to be kinder to those people. Of course, his conviction lasted only until he met the next wailing victim… he would never be patient enough to deal with hysterical humans.

He was truly a sociopath.
