[For a moment he just sort of stares, like he has to actually take time to process what Wesker's saying and doing, and the the usual desire to be close takes a moment to show up.
But it does show up and he moves to lean against Wesker, just sort of letting himself collapse once he's there.
...Wesker really isn't very comfortable. But he always likes this, he always wants to be close even though it isn't comfortable. It always gets him to settle and relax, and even though he still feels like he's having trouble processing everything, he does begin to relax a little bit.
That's about when it sinks in that what he experienced wasn't his own death. It probably would be easier if it had been, which is probably a bit concerning, honestly.
It gets him to tense after a moment and suddenly he's shaking.
The first thing he really properly feels (that's his and not something lingering from the memory) is fear. Wesker's right here and he's fine (physically, at least) and there's no reason to worry but suddenly he's terrified that if he looks away for even a moment, something will happen to Wesker. Some part of him is fully aware he shouldn't be worrying, but it's also a relief to feel something that isn't hate or fury so for once he just... lets it happen without trying to convince himself he needs to stop.
He'll be okay eventually, but for now he's going to latch on as tight as he possibly can.]
