Indeed, it was satisfying when it clicked, the doctor was completely frozen, not even blinking, just like Eva and Niam. It was a ridiculous situation, because they were the ones who were surprised and overwhelmed by panic when they pointed the gun at James.
On the other hand James himself was kinda stupid and he knew it very well. He was reckless with the move, and if the gun would have actually chambered and shot, he would be fucked up on a different level and now would probably be gasping for air with broken ribs. But it worked and the gun wasn't chambered, but not just that.
The thing is, after the load clicked, after Niam pulled the trigger, he didn't even try to chamber, didn't even try to do anything. And not just him but Eva too. She didn't aim, she didn't switch off the safety or chamber any round, just looked with that desperate expression on her face and with the surprise that, what the fuck is this?
