just violently shot up with the realization that ponyboy was probably so terrified to have to jump on the train to escape after bob's death, quite possibly the same train that had killed his parents, and that's why johnny stayed awake when ponyboy fell asleep, because he wanted to make sure that ponyboy was okay, that his trauma wouldn't be further triggered
