[The movement isn't nearly as blinding as the pain. His vision goes white and the breath is knocked out of him so hard, he can't even cry out.
Despite the SOS, he doesn't actually expect Hei to come for him. They're Contractors; they don't rush into danger for one another unless the mission demands it, and they have no mission here. Nothing binds them together except familiarity -- a weak rope for the pathologically unsentimental. He sent the SOS because only an idiot didn't seize any possibility of escape, but he's not relying on it. His best hope of getting out of here is to transfer his consciousness. He desperately casts his eyes around, looking for any animal he can use his ability on.]
