A huge part of the horror of Malevolent that I think about all the time is that John is very often just stuck watching all this happen. Yes we're all listening to it but John sees *everything*. We talk all the time about all of Arthur's horrible injuries but John is just made to watch, time and time again, while the man he loves gets absolutely butchered and there's nothing he can do but shout and beg and plead. Arthur cut the stone out of Antione but John had to watch as he did it. And even outside of all the gore, Arthur heard the music played by all the other versions of himself but John had to look at all these men with the same face as his dear friend that Kayne had broken before them. We can only hear it but John has to watch it *all*.
