[ Unlike Shuichi, Impulse unfortunately didn't have the forethought to keep an eye on his new teammate, despite how uncertain he'd seemed about facing one of those creatures on his own. Instead, he got so wrapped up in the flow of combat and trying to get them an exit as quickly as possible, that he didn't even hear the warning signs of a struggle, the gasp that came after or even the drop of a body.
It's not until he hears someone calling out to him to fall back that he finally takes his eyes off his opponents on automatic. And looking back to see Dixon with a fallen Shuichi and the wraith still looming over them, his heart practically stops.
Not listening to what Dixon told him, and no longer thinking of the opponents behind him, he takes off running toward them on instinct. Too used to being the one who could run in and take everyone else out of danger, and too used to being faster than anyone could hit him, in his panic he forgets he's just as slow as everyone else. ]
