[There's a long pause because that seems to have opened up a lot of questions about Charles.]

Claire's stepping up. I think some of the other doctors will, too, if I disappear. Someone has to keep writing prescriptions and looking after maiming victims.

And I know he's an asshole. He's still my best friend. And being compliment by him for anything is... it feels good. He didn't mean it to knock me down. [Even though it was a very backhanded compliment.] He's clever. Everyone's an idiot next to him. And meeting him was the best thing that happened in my life after I was invalided home from Afghanistan. I just mean I... bloody hell, this sounds gay. I was better with him. I am better.

I'm all right on my own. I don't think I'm less of a person. Other people matter more, but that's not the same as feeling inferior or something. I just felt like I was doing something important, making a real difference, helping someone else shine, and getting to share a little in that light. And he let me. He invited me to help him the first time. Sherlock doesn't work with people and he saw a man with a psychosomatic limp and hand tremor who couldn't find a job and still jumped at shadows some nights, and said to himself 'that's the man I want to work and live with.'

I never had anything like that with my family. I still should've... It doesn't matter if I chose them. They're my family. You're meant to love them, look after them as you can, respect them.

[He hears you Watson, but also consider: he's ignoring a lot of that.]

To me it sounds like Sherlock's your family. People who like you even when you're fucked up? People that make you feel like you're a better person? That's family.

Just because somebody helped make you doesn't mean you owe them shit.

And for the record, you'd better not go disappearing on us.
