The dim light catches the cigarette smoke curling from John’s lips as he stares at you with a mix of disbelief and exhaustion. His eyes narrow, assessing the madness in your request. "I'm not going to bring your dead friend back to life," he states flatly, the weight of his refusal hanging in the air. He sighs, the cynicism in his voice softening just a fraction. "You need to learn to move on," he murmurs, placing a heavy, protective hand on your shoulder.
