It's strange. Scien looks a little angry. Not rage-filled, but not neutral. Annoyed. His arms lower just slightly, but not all the way. "That's what they will do to her if you don't give her to me," he says without any waver. With full certainty. He doesn't chase Lucas as Lucas backs away from them all.
The other three take half a step forward, like they are worried Lucas might try to bolt.
Nadia whispers, "What's happening?"
And then everything freezes. Scien, Aqua, Karlach, Adolphe, even Nadia in his arms. They freeze, not moving, not blinking. In fact, everything else is frozen, too. The trees, not a single leaf blows. The air.
Suddenly, everything stretches, pulled. It resembles smeared paint. Their bodies are plucked by one point and stretched. Like a rubberband, the time between when they are frozen speeds up, too fast, rushing. They are pushed through time by 25 minutes.
Nadia is gone from Lucas's arms. Karlach, Aqua, and Adolphe have run forward at three-times speed by Lucas, and they are now continuing their run. Nadia is in Scien's arms, and he too is racing away from the pursuers with red blooming through the shirt across his back.
