Using that logic, I don't see how having parents is much easier.

[ Sherlock hasn't had parents since he was 10. After that, he had Mycroft as brother and father figure in one and all the strain that (and other things) had on their relationship.

But then Mikotoba makes his offer, and Sherlock has to stifle a laugh, shaking his head. ]

I think your help only works the once. Did you not hear them? I believe they would try to pair the two of us together if you were younger or I older.

[ Unless Mikotoba is wanting to create relationship drama for some reason, but that's not blending into the community. ]
