It's not just the body, the sudden and violent change from 'person' to 'body', because Seth has dealt with that before. Not often, and not all that voluntarily, but he'd like to think he has a decent stomach for it. Or at least he used to, back when he was a bit more mentally and emotionally stable.
But it's seeing Daniel doing it, business-like and almost calm, seemingly unaffected by what he just did. That's the part that's really jarring. It makes him feel sick. He's just... he's so very clearly, obviously military, and Seth doesn't know how to deal with that, not when he has to see it first-hand.
It reminds him of that dream of Daniel breaking him out, how he killed a handful men with very little trouble. But that had been a dream, and Seth hadn't been properly aware of everything going on, not enough to properly react, or maybe the memories have just been dulled by waking up.
And there's a desperate hope that this is a dream too, because right now he has no other real theory, but usually when it occurs to him that it might be, he's able to tell. He's able to feel the difference. Whereas this feels... terribly vivid and vibrant and sharp.
It's a good thing Daniel is dragging him along rather than waiting for him to follow, because the reassurances are having a hard time making their way into his mind, and doing things like actually deciding to put one foot in front of the other right now, well, he's not sure if he could do it.
