The door was going to close. And the Overlook was going to explode and take Dan's dad with it.
Dan had to do something. Reason with his dad or drag him through to the station so the hotel couldn't fuck with him any more, like how it had worked with Bobby, or... or something. Could he or Bryn block the hotel from his dad's mind? If the hotel stayed out of Jack's head for long enough, would he remain sane enough for a long enough time so that they could all escape with Dick? Could Dan even try and tempt the hotel to take over him for long enough for everyone to survive?
If he was right with his timings (who was he kidding? These last few days in the hotel were burned into his brain forever) then today was the day his dad spent locked up in the pantry. He could talk to him then, right? That would work. Tiny him and his mom had spent all that time up in their apartment by the kitchen, so they wouldn't be down to investigate.
He sent a text to Bryn, and then went to the door and looked through. His dad would be locked up by now, so... yeah. Time to go and try to talk reason to the man. He walked across the lobby, feeling that familiar revulsion as the Overlook realized and reacted to his presence, and went through to the kitchens and over to the massive pantry where he could hear Jack Torrance trying to kick down the door.
How the fuck was he going to manage this?
