Ianto again

[beccaelizabeth]

If I had more brain cells working I'd drabble this, but: Ianto in 1-04, revelation of background, that he was in Torchwood Tower when the Cybermen took it, that he found Lisa and got her out.
I've read people being awed at the mad skillz demonstrated, wondering how he evaded the cybermen, writing nifty adventure stories where he struggles through the battlefield to reach her.

When the Cybermen take humans to be upgraded, they stand them in lines and make them wait their turn.

Isn't it most logical that when they took Lisa, Ianto was standing right behind her?

I didn't like it being called over acting because really, unless they go into total catatonic shock, really upset people can and probably will be a very miserable wreck looooong before the kind of only on TV stresses Ianto got.

Seriously, I can only think the reason would be for that response is the cool/calm background Ianto to the very emotional and wracked with a-survivor's guilt (most likely) and b-post traumatic stress disorder (while caught up in this fractured fairy tale of trying to save Lisa) was too big of a leap without any gradual lead up.

But then again, that was the whole point of him hiding everything about himself.
