[ Of course he is. He may not know it intimately, the chaos inside Sherlock's head, but he's well aware of its existence. Sherlock's greatest weakness. Mycroft doesn't need to go to any considerable effort to keep track of the information that continuously trickles into his mind. It's effortless, to put each report from his people where it fits, to date, to define, to compartmentalise ...
He's the lucky one of the two of them. And good thing, too, because then he can at least look after Sherlock. Had he, god forbid, been born with a normal brain, with normal intellect, Sherlock would certainly be dead by now. None of the people he chooses to spend time with are capable of saving his life.
Mycroft keeps a hand on Sherlock's opposite shoulder, so there's some support at his back too, and makes for the stairs. ]
You could at least let me know when it gets unbearable. Must you make it so difficult to help you?
