He doesn't, of course he doesn't, but he has to be. That's the problem, isn't it? John always ends up alone, he knows that. He faced things alone so people didn't have to, that's his job.
Yet Prior steps forward toward the wraith anyway, undeterred, and John feels fear grip him even though this has to be a dream. ]
Prior, don't--
[ John lurches into action, moves around to fire at the wraith. The gun's report is loud in the otherwise silent room, but as the wraith turns to hiss at him she simply vanishes in a way he knows she shouldn't.
All that's left is the skeletal, weak, barely alive man on his knees.
John hesitates, lowers his gun as he moves closer and makes an attempt to steer Prior away. ]
We should go before more come.
[ More wraith, in the dream. They never usually get a chance in this nightmare, but doesn't mean they won't -- and John wants Prior both away from Sumner and away from any danger in general.
He doesn't want to talk about this. Easier to remove everyone from the room. ]
