I *love* this. Your writing is so delicate and perfect!
Whales were fundamentally nonsensical; Sherlock hated them.
The absolute perfect sense this makes, despite being completely mad!
They could have all been insects; they could have been like hymenoptera: workers, drones, just one queen with the pluripotentiality of the hive her responsibility, hers alone. Sherlock liked bees. She loved them, really. She wished they all were bees and she was a bee and their cells all slanted down, like bees.
So lovely. Bees know exactly where they belong in the hive, exactly what their role is - bees never have to wonder about each other, or figure each other out. The cells all slanting down is somehow especially perfect.
