Seoraj's objection is sound and fury without an actual word, animal and angry under metal (heating under the closeness of the hot-burning flames; accordingly his objection lacks genuine determination to resist, a growled out acknowledgement of just how much he'd like to), and when he lets go it's - not so much 'letting go' as it is 'hurling face-first into the wall'.

These people may not be real, not really, but even now he's thinking about the scope of what's been done here (more even than he knows) and he's realistic about the likelihood he's going to get to do much with his own hands to whoever is responsible. It's just--

He has to fight somebody.

--he has to get out of here, like Bruce says. This time when he moves, it's for the stairs.
