The time slowing, washed out background effect is completely ruined, mind you, by the fact that Ayla's momentum doesn't stop, so while Anika avoids a collision, Ayla isn't so lucky. She yelps, trying to stop herself before she falls - and instinctively reaches for the first thing she can grab.
Which just happens to be Anika's arm. She doesn't drag Anika down with her, but does end up tangled with her for a moment... ]
