[ So engrossed with racking her brain, trying to think of a place she hasn't tried to hide already, Aerith almost misses the sound of the shuffling footsteps, though the watery exhale the creature utters captures her attention instantly, making her blood run cold.

Transfixed and terrified, it's a good thing that Steve has the sense to tug at her arm and urge her into motion, it lets Aerith shake off some of the fear locking her feet to the floor while she listened to that ghastly sound.
