Long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has managed to find any (international) streaming information for the Op.1 reprise?

I realized just today that the melody Liam sings when Sherlock struggles with the choice to kill Milverton in Op 4 is the same as the melody of a violin that played when Sherlock thought about his regret of not killing Hope to find out about the Lord of Crime in his solitude in Op 2.

Violin melody is just imitating the presence of the Lord of Crime in Op 2, the presence that Sherlock wishes to be true, the ghost that Sherlock wishes to be alive. And in the song, the violin’s melody is the Lord of Crime’s grip on Sherlock — the moment the melody starts, Sherlock turns to speak to Lord of Crime, asks whether he failed his test, scolds himself for not killing Hope. His obsession with Lord of Crime leaves him imagining his voice — expressed in the violin.

But when Lord of Crime is next to him, his influence on Sherlock is finally expressed fully, clearly — with his own, actual voice. Sherlock achieved what he wanted — but at what cost?

And now Lord of Crime’s voice guides his choice to kill again — either calming down or dragging Sherlock deeper into the ocean he jumped in willingly. And this time — it works.

Francesca by Hozier is already a proper candidate for depressing combination with thoughts about Sherliam, but then I remembered that in Morimyu, throughout 5 ops, Sherlock and Liam seek each other to turn around, reach out with their hands nearly touching just to cling to emptiness, catch nothingness, hold it close to the heart. Over, and over, and over again, until they finally cling to each other in the end, catching each other, holding each other — close to the heart.

‘If I could hold you for a minute’ hits even worse. 5 opuses of glances, dreams, talking with a ghost. And finally, holding each other for just a minute. Wow.

Just sitting here, on a lazy Sunday afternoon, thinking about the fact that Sherlock was probably compared to Orpheus by William because he, too, was not allowed to look upon the true William before the end of The Final Problem.

Sherlock’s first true glimpse of William’s secret identity— as the LOC— was predestined by William himself to be the moment Sherlock would lose him forever, to death. Just like when Orpheus looked upon Eurydice and in doing so, sealed their parting forever.

However, William’s fatal miscalculation here was in what he believed Sherlock would see when he finally was given the entire image of William. He did not see the cold-blooded killer that William had perhaps hoped, but instead, he saw the good of William’s heart.

I actually adore how much more tragic Reprise made William with the addition of this song. The glimpse into how he truly sees himself and how, even at this moment of the story, he has written his own end is really devastating.

Tadasuke-san and Nishimori-san, I am once again 👏👏👏 so, so grateful that Morimyu exists.
