  Summary

  insidious | ɪnˈsɪdɪəs | adjective
  • proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with very harmful effects
   

  Sometimes, when I say “I’m fine”,
  I want someone to look me in the eyes
  and say “tell me the truth.”
   

  Why is everything going wrong?! Sherlock wonders..
  
  That’s it. That’s literally the best summary of this entire thing. Tags contain spoilers. Please heed the warnings before you start reading*!
  Also I’m sorry about this emotional roller coaster of psychological torture you are about to read.
  *You have to at least read 0.2% (first part in the series) before you read this, because it would be too confusing otherwise.
