"Tidus!" He sees that flame from Tidus, on Tidus, he panics. More than he does from the vine dragging him away from the machine. He struggles, trying to free his leg. He dug his fingers into the dirt.

At first he doesn't realise the vines have vanished, but then he realises, there is no pressure on his ankle. He isn't being pulled away anymore but instead the world is going strange around him.

He scrambled to reach out to try and grab hold of Tidus, as he distortion bubbled around them.
