No. We haven't really been able to talk about it except for him to tell me it wasn't my fault. I think he's lying.
[Mainly because John can't think of many other reasons and while it might not have been entirely his fault, he places part of the blame squarely on his shoulders. Which... isn't something he's actually mentioned to Alfie, he realizes, belatedly. Not directly. That conversation was with Fiona. Right.]
We rowed just before he went up on the roof. I left... that's when Moriarty got to him. I was talking to him on the phone from down on the ground when he jumped, Alfie. I couldn't convince him then. What the hell do I say now?
He told Davesprite it wasn't what the papers were printing about him being a fake, either.
[There are a few options for what else it could have been. Protecting John from Moriarty is the explanation he can think of. But that last conversation, Sherlock telling him to tell everyone he was a fake. That felt personal. It felt... like something else. John isn't sure what, but that's the part that makes him think the argument played into it, ultimately.]
