In her blind, panicked run, Codi barely registers that the ghost hot on her heels is being delayed by something - not until Juhani calls for her specifically. She stumbles to a stop for just long enough to look and verify what's happening.
Then, without a second thought, Codi takes that advice.
"Thanks!!" she yells breathlessly over her shoulder, and bolts. The shrine is only a hundred feet or so further up the path; an arduous journey for Codi on her injured leg and with her screaming muscles, but at least it's quick. She'll be back for Juhani momentarily.
