How this doesn't have many views this is so good.... well done, I have been trying figure out Sherlock's trauma/beliefs and the events of The Awakened brought out in general. Your analysis gave me the answer I needed. Thank you!

Thanks for watching, poisonavys. I’m glad my video helped find answers.

Interesting perspective, I personally don't thing that the story is that deep but maybe I have to read some Lovecraft first. Great video.
