[ Despite the gentle treatment it's still not a pleasant process, Sigma visibly flinching and hissing through his teeth. He doesn't move away, though, not even an inch, eyes moving back and forth between Dostoevsky and the ghost, both acting...strangely.
"Selfless acts." He'd heard about them effecting the Infected, but wasn't sure how the ghosts might react. Is that Dostoevsky's angle here...? Would it work just looking the part and not being done out of genuine concern?
(As far as Sigma would guess, at least. The other man is practical, wouldn't let Sigma sit and suffer if he needed both arms to do something for him, but it would be a far cry from altruism. Especially when a dangerous enemy is right there.)
His eyes land on the ghost again. Without wavering he scoots ever-so-slightly closer to Dostoevsky, as if the man's presence would keep Sigma safe. Hopefully in this case it will. ]
