What Condition Does Holmes Have in Sherlock Holmes Chapter One?

This article contains massive spoilers for the game Sherlock Holmes Chapter One. If you haven't played the game, do yourself a favour: skip this article and go play it first! I'll be here when you come back, 100 hours from now and addicted to Sherlock Holmes stuff.

Back already? Good!

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is a masterpiece of a game, and I'm sure I won't be the only one to think that. However, during my run, as I reached the cemetery for the first time to see the gravestone of my mother, I opened the Mind Palace and saw a small hint that made everything I thought I knew truly crumble.

"My imaginary friend Jon". My belly churned, I felt betrayed, confused, scared, and I finally 55. GameOn Magazine understood why he teleported everywhere in the most immersion-breaking ways. Jon wasn't human after all. And as any Sherlock Holmes fan will know, "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" And so, I delved deep into finding the most probable truth.

I immediately jumped into the quest help Discord server provided to me by my superior, I all-capped the staff "WHAT", and then proceeded to continue playing the game as regularly scheduled. This time, with a new sense of intrigue and curiosity swelling deep within me; why does Sherry have an imaginary friend?

I can't remember the last time I had an imaginary friend pop up in my day-to-day life, but it certainly wasn't as an adult. And, to my knowledge, none of the adults in my direct friend group (which is mostly my family. Hi Mom!) have had an imaginary friend in at least five years.
