And perhaps because he is subconsciously aware that Johnny knows about the drugs, some of that is seeping into his dream tonight. And perhaps his worry about Gabe is making the nightmare worse than usual. Like a weird mix of withdrawal symptoms and the effects of some of the other stuff they tried him on, making it hard to think rationally, amping up his anxiety.

A closer look at Seth would probably reveal signs of mistreatment, besides the various marks from injections (easily visible with him wearing a t-shirt). Bruised wrists from fighting while strapped down. Rings around his eyes from insomnia. A cut on his cheekbone he doesn't remember how he got. That happened more than once.
