She's so fixated on her prey that she doesn't notice the trap fall.
The branches impact with a sickening crunch, and Nimona's scream transforms into a guttural yelp of pain, cut off too early by several agonized coughs. She can't move her legs -- either they're pinned, or her spine's broken, and she's in no state to tell the difference. She's just barely in a state to acknowledge the pain at all as she keeps reaching for Edgar, wheezing, snapping at the air so hard that her teeth start to break off like porcupine quills.
Nimona tries to extend the pieces of herself just a little further. Slowly, one arm stretches, like it's oozing across the ground, pulling itself stick-thin, her broken fingers grasping uselessly toward Edgar.
cw severe injury, more body horror
