[Despite the tablet being shoved into his hand, Sherlock isn't even remotely interested in anything John has to say right now. The speaker is being impatiently covered with his hand to muffle the protests from within, eyes fixed on the retreating form of Gabriel. He doesn't cover it completely, though, so John's voice is still semi-audible and he doesn't cover the microphone at all so John can still hear what's happening.]
If she's still alive now, I'm sure you'll kill her when you return. A man like you can't afford to have anyone who remembers him when he was 'normal', anyone who remembers the man behind Sylar.

Compulsion?
[He snorts.]
You're just trying to find more ways to avoid facing up to yourself. You told yourself you were special, you deserved those powers, and that justified killing. Now you say that they're gone, you're trying to convince yourself that compulsions made you do it so that you don't have to face what you did.
But you know that's a lie. If it had only been compulsion brought on by the ticking of your ability, you wouldn't have murdered Dr. Suresh here. Or, if you had, you would have shown remorse. You are a killer, Gabriel, and there are no convenient compulsions to blame for it.
