[It takes Jean a minute. Back turned and examining another ruined wall, he doesn't catch the motion before it wraps around his friend, only turning around once his name is called. After that, he starts forward, face panicked and blades out. Hands grab at his feet and trip him up but they're easy enough to cut through; he can't stop. Not before he saves Armin.
Yet the faster he runs the less it seems to matter–the monster's already gotten a headstart. There's no way to catch up with it before it drags Armin inside. All he can hope for is to slip in before the door closes–something that seems less likely as Armin descends into the pyramid and a stone slab threatens to slam down.
Jean cuts himself free from another hand, speeds up and slides in just in time. The stone slams to the ground behind his head, trimming a few loose hairs. Jean scrambles to his feet, staring into the darkness of the pyramid with a growing sense of dread.]
