Vanya Orlov's stubbornness, when summoned, can be considerable. But she's right; that's not the frame of mind the ghost has guided him to. Instead the pull on his shoulder seems to momentarily confuse him, as if he hadn't fully registered she was there when he'd first responded. He turns toward her and starts to shift his weight before the spirit barks, a marked change of tone:

"You are not dismissed, Orlov."

Caught between them, after a moment Vanya does stand, but he still seems uncertain as to what he'll do next. Though the ghost has more of his attention, Gwenaëlle is a solid presence that it's hard to reconcile with the modified memory that he's fallen into. "I have to go," he says, but it's almost a question, and it's not clear which of them he's addressing.
