It isn't realistic to expect anyone to function after such abuse no matter how strong they are. Ash didn't when it happened to him the first time. Even after, when Marvin and his men grabbed him, he wasn't bouncing back immediately.
Still, as he told Jessica, he never had the luxury of time so he learned how to keep functioning even through the pain. ]
Next time I get out of interrogation, meet me at the car with a portable bath.
