* We returned to Sherlock's mind palace from this chapter.
I knew something wrong, gone wrong from the deep part, my brain going wrong.
This is an old problem.
I hate women. Why was there a widow-dressed woman standing in our living room?
Ah, Mary.
A short, bold, smart blond, has a nasty secret connection with Mycroft - ah, that's familiar!
It's John.
If that's John's image in my mind... Why did he become a "widow"? Who's dead?
But Mary's husband is supposed to be John?
Mary Watson.
Marry Watson?
Who's the abominable bride with a gun? Mary Watson.
Mary Watson in her wedding dress who shot me in my mind palace.
The woman who married John Watson with a terrible secret.
A lovely blonde woman with a medical background, who worked in the same clinic with John and flirted with him, even invaded Baker Street and smart enough to contribute our case investigation.
Wait... is she Sarah Sawyer?
A woman hidden an unknown past since five years ago had participated in criminal acts and changed her identity to live a new life in London in order to escape enemies. She might not be a British, claiming to be an orphan, and is an expert in her field. May have a secret tattoo.
It sounds familiar too... that's Soo Lin Yao!
A woman had a child and an unhappy marriage, who was blonde and cheating her husband. The baby is a girl and the name started with R.
The dead blonde in A Study in Pink.
And the fictional Abominable Bride - why with a gun? Why wearing a wedding dress? Why is her image overlapping with Mary Watson in my mind palace? Why did I finally find out that the "bride" was played by multiple women?
Does Mary Watson exist after all? Why all her backgrounds and characteristics overlap with someone I knew in the past?
It's like, I am not a Victorian at all.
I shouldn't have the mind of that era, thinking that feelings are an obstacle which difficult to talk about, thinking that being a successful detective should suppress desires.
John Watson shouldn't have a Victorian beard anymore!
