6. No place

#32 - Sorrow [Warning: character death (suicide)]

Holmes has put his life in black and white terms since he was young. This has clearly not changed, as he finds he possesses plenty of lines to draw as to when things changed; plenty of dates to name as to when things went wrong, basically. Most all of them revolve around meetings, a good deal of them revolve around a marriage, and rather a lot of them revolve around sorrow, if he is made to place an emotion on something he'd rather not. Such things have no place in his life, after all.

And if, he reflects as he looks into the chasm of the falls, they truly have no place in his life then he is obliged to remove them. By any means necessary.

The water is cold when he falls, and it numbs him. He is glad.
