[ Look out for what, the beetle or the elbow that comes flying into view, striking Mafuyu right in the sternum and sending her careening backwards and onto her back??
It's too late to roll away when she can't even catch her breath, eyes watering and a dark shape looming in front of her face— is that Mohammed? the beetle? she can't tell at all, so she does what she can to fight back: she yanks the shoe off one foot, and throws it hard at whatever it is that's in front of her, hoping it'll at hit the beetle (hopefully that's not Mohammed's face...) or at least scare the beetle away. ]
