[Okay, even in mortal danger, there's no way Heigo's about to miss Kashuu's superhuman sprint toward the gate. Being an author makes him far too hyper-observant not to pick up on a massive aberration from the expected norm - at least in people, unlike the massive aberrations from every single normal day that he's been ignoring since he left the house this morning.
This is different, though. This is a person who suddenly seems to defy logic, not just some part of his surroundings, so he can't just let it slide. At least not once they're safe.
Heigo takes one side of the gate with an exaggerated wave to Kashuu so that he'll know to take the other - with the very last sliver of energy left in his body, he hauls his side closed so slowly and jerkily that they only just manage to get the doors closed and secured before the bull slams into them. The harsh ring and grate of horns against metal will never, ever leave Heigo's memory, he knows that already.]
Kashuu... [He's slumped against his side of the door, slowly sliding downward as his knees give out bit by bit, drenched in sweat from head to foot and struggling to catch his breath.] ... what just happened out there?
