Seul didn't wait to see what came next.
The moment the light flared above them, she pulled.

Joon jerked sideways from where he'd been crouched behind a wrecked sign; Jin, halfway to shifting his stance, was yanked off-balance mid-step. Even Echo, alert and always in motion, was dragged back as if the ground itself tilted inward.
They collided around her in a rough knot of limbs and breath.
Seul raised her hands and pushed outward.
