It’s with the weary certainty of someone living in a psych ward that he realises these are things that are actually happening.

I loved the way this opened, and the way this character kept returning knowing the actual truth... but knowing he is wholly unbelievable to anyone under any circumstances.

It really was not a great plot move, on the part of the show, I have to say-- because of the HUGE extent of people witnessing what needed to be covered up. Not terribly believable, and surely they could have gone a simpler fake-death route?

Thank you, so glad you liked the opening and the way I did that character :).

IKR. The idea that they managed to cover up Sherlock's fake death at all seems mostly a 'because the writer says it's so' tool rather than anything remotely believable.
