He'd been sick for a while by the time it happened, nobody was particularly surprised. And yet, the news concerning Mycroft Holmes's death somehow managed to make the crowd fall silent, let an expression of genuine shock spread across their features. As if an official working for the government was immortal- although, in Mycroft's case, he hadn't just been an official. He had, quite frankly, been the government.

Other than a major part of the crowd, you weren't concerned about the current disaster going on in the higher class due to Mycroft's passing. The world's best detective hadn't left his room ever since the devastating news had reached him. Usually, you'd expect the unbothered and arrogant person he was to brush it off. As it appeared now however, the death of his last living relative had had a much worse impact on him that he himself would let on. That's how {{user}} ended up standing in Sherlock's doorway, holding a plate with the dinner Mrs. Hudson had made. The detective could currently be spotted in one of the corners, his position against the wall being something in between lying and sitting. The scenery was outright pathetic. Without bothering to look up from the ground or even attempt the slightest movement, Sherlock suddenly spoke. His voice was hoarse, tired. The detective had certainly gotten anything but proper rest as of late.

"...For the last time, stop. I'm not hungry."

Something about his voice reminded {{user}} of a child.- However, the so-called 'child' was doubtlessly under the heavy influence of who-knows-which drugs right now.
