Sherlock: Dancing with the Red Dragon

Empathy is an ability everyone is born with. It teaches us tolerance, understanding, and compassion. But some people's empathy is so strong that they can be pulled into other people's inner worlds with ease, feeling their joys and sorrows as though swept helplessly into a whirlpool, left only to watch themselves drown.

I wasn't born this way. I was made this way.

My father made my mother into the sister he dreamed of, and made me into the fated enemy from his memories. My only relief, and my only regret, is that he left us too soon. As a result, my younger brother became an unfinished product, with reason and madness constantly struggling inside his mind.

But this isn't his story. It's mine.
