That's how plots work.

Depends how well you write, and why you're doing the thing you do. Take David Lynch's Blue Velvet, for instance. If most directors tried to have a character get shot, just stand there, and then not address it at all, people probably would dislike the movie. But Lynch does it well, and it almost feels - for lack of a better word - natural or necessary.

Sorry, OP. That's the best I could do with what you've given me to work with.
