Why are you quoting Antony and Cleopatra? There was an oncologist I knew. He used to recite that to himself whenever he had to deliver a bad prognosis. It’s just a reminder to speak simply and honestly to a patient and not sugarcoat the bad news.

“I think I could have done a better job explaining why it’s important. At least explaining why it’s important to me. When you and I first started, I quickly recognized your merits, both as a detective in your own right and in that you facilitated my own process. I’m better at the work I do because of you. But over the years the relative importance of those two values has flipped. I now value the work that we do, first and foremost, because I do it with you. So if at times I seem overprotective of the system that we’ve built if I worry that the resentments of others might disrupt it, I have good reason.”

I’m sorry that I lied to you, Watson. The last few days have been quite vexing. Even now, I’m not certain if I’ve done the right thing in allowing M to live. It’s strange, really. I’m rarely conflicted about the decisions I make. That’s the beauty of deductive reasoning, I suppose. It makes a science of almost everything. Not this.
