It's not until they're out of the -- whatever room that was, and the man starts talking, that Seth realises holy shit.
Daniel's half-formed question barely has time to register in amongst all the other questions, like where are they and how did they get here and what's going on, and what's Daniel doing here, dressed in his military gear and armed. Has Seth gotten amnesia or something and lost three years of life, because this just does not mesh at all.
And they're in some sort of base, and there's no windows, and Seth just knows there's no way out, it's like he knows it in his bones, and there's this paralysing hopelessness that stifles and drowns all other thought.
Then someone else is there, and Seth doesn't have time to react at all, barely has time to look before the sharp, deafening sound of gunfire right next to him, and the man is dead, and Daniel killed him.
Seth stares at the lifeless body, horrified, frozen in place, unable to look away.
