[ she feels the change before she actually sees anything. well, she sees it all around her, but that mental ping, it's more than just people thinking too loudly. it's familiar. it sets her off running before she even really knows where she's supposed to be going. it's weird to think that their telepathic link also serves as a kind of GPS, but despite the insanity all around them, the path ( the pull ) is clear. she thinks it's just her own panicking that's making her brain feel foggy, but it's probably a number of things. the people all around her, the gas, the train of thought she's actively following to try and get to Tom. she's learned to stop trying to break everything down into logical little parts during situations like this - all that matters is finding Thomas, making sure he's not-

Run! [ she only spares the other person a harsh look, like she's not totally sure she'll be able to stop him for very long, then she's turning to look at Tom again ]
We need to get out of here. Hey! Look at me! Thomas-!
