{Want ... know it...} He covers his hands. No he - he didn't mean that. Didn't mean to contradict. He wants to know what it is and how he'd know it. That there ... is things missing?

Maybe. He can't remember what's missing.

"You'd like to know it. Do you mean, you're not sure why you can't remember?" Sometimes he has trouble working out what Sherlock's trying to say, especially given that he's also learning sign as he goes.

He'd never thought he'd need it.

[desecrated]

He nods even though that's not exactly what it is. He doesn't care why he can't remember, he just wants to remember it so he doesn't feel so stupid.

Because only a stupid thing wouldn't remember something like that.
It's music, it should be something he can remember, though he's not sure why he knows that.

It's his fault he's broken.

"You've been through a lot and...it seems to have affected your memory to some extent. I don't know if you'll start remembering later; if you don't, it's all right. The song is by Brahms, I can probably find it."

He pops open his phone and plays the piece, watching Sherlock carefully.

[desecrated]

He listens to the tune, tracing his fingers through the air, in a bit off rhythm, but it's clear he remembers some of it.

{Music...Sleep} he signs, unable to remember the exact name of it, but listening to each note now it makes him sleepy.

[missesthewar]

"It's a lullaby, yeah." He smiles, trying to reassure Sherlock that he's doing well. "That's good, that you remember it a little. It's nice. You used to play it sometimes." After he had particularly hellish dreams, actually. They didn't talk about it, but...well, it was there.

He hesitates, not sure if it's too soon. "We've...got your violin here now. If you ever want."

[desecrated]

{Do I play?} though he makes the sign for 'child's play' rather than 'play' as in a musical instrument.
He couldn't remember. John just said he did but he didn't remember playing.

Just hurting. He shifts, again, swinging between peaceful and anxious.
Why can't John just hurt him and be done with it?
