John is looking between Prior and Sumner in confusion, gun lowered now, and something about the whole thing makes him feel queasy all over again. This -- this isn't supposed to happen, but now he has the awful hindsight of knowing it technically could.
That technically a wraith can undo what they have done, can give life back. If he'd known that, could he have made her give Sumner his life back? The way Prior somehow did yet didn't, making him whole again?
Is that how it usually works? You go and it's all over for another shitty night? ]
No.
[ John looks around warily, as if he's waiting for something else to change, but for now the nightmare seems to be suspended -- perhaps under Prior's whims. He doesn't really know. ]
This isn't how it's meant to happen. I shot him.
[ Shot, shoots, will shoot, what's a little tense confusion between friends? It's a nightmare based on a memory, and and Sumner has never slumped peacefully over like that before. John can feel that his breathing is a little quick, uneasy at the change of events -- because at least when this all sticks to the script he feels in control because he can predict what will happen. Now, now John has no idea what the hell is going on. ]
