*Humming Ein Männlein Steht Im Walde.*
[Sherlock hears the humming and pauses to listen.]
Humperdinck, interesting choice.

Hansel and Gretel was my last case.

What made it her favourite?

She was three, who knows why three-year-olds like things? It was pretty, that's all. *His hands clench into fists, and he takes a deep breath.* It was pretty, and it was the song she died to.
[Strong emotional reaction. Interesting.]
You were with her and lived... How old were you?

Eight. I was eight years old, and I had already seen my parents die.
FYI I've only seen Silence of the Lambs, if Sherlock's wrong that's why XD

You were eight...
[Parents are dull at this point.]
Did you sing it to her? Is that why it was the song she died to?

I sang it to her, but not then. No, the men who killed her sang it and laughed.
And I made them sing again when I killed them.

And they allowed you to live. Why?

They had what they needed. And the Russian front came soon afterwards.
Were they German soldiers, then? What did they need?

[Sherlock looks him up and down. The time in this place is so strange.]
Why kill a child? And why the younger of the two of you?

Really......isn't that a bit over the top.
*Merton looks over at the source of the humming. Then he realizes who it is.*
Oh, shit!
*He ducks quickly behind a wall, hoping he won't be spotted.*

We were the only ones there. And I had been giving her most of my food, so I was too thin.
*He wouldn't have been if he hadn't moved so fast. But he did, so he gets to have a cannibal sing him a song. At least Hannibal has a nice voice?*
You know, I'd have ignored you if you'd just stayed still.

They... ate her?
[More of a statement than a question.]
[More of a statement than a question.]
Yes.
I killed them eventually, though. It was not hard to find them again once I started looking. *They were delicious, too, but he won't go there.*

[Sherlock takes in some subtle shift...]
You did more than kill them. How old were you when you found them?

*He nods.* Their deaths were only fitting.
It was fairly recent. Why?

That's a long time to be on such a... mission.
[Sherlock looks him up and down again - not to mention it's a long time past World War II for Sherlock.]

Not so long, really. Only ten years or so, and I am young yet.
*Ah, timelines. How we hate thee.*

It is still over half of your life...
