Jev had half-recovered from the shock that had been applied to him at this point, and was going to let himself recover normally from his condition when he saw Rame walk towards the guy with the lenses and then launch off a firestorm, and he was directly in the path of the inferno. experiencing an adrenaline rush as his survival instincts kicked in and he panicked, he shouted out.
"NO!"
As he shouted, he imagined himself shapeshifting into something that could have some agency over his situation. almost immediately, the pain had subsided thanks to how the signals had been stopped whilst he was transforming as part of it, allowing him to stand up, but having consumed much more lumen than a single transformation would have as a result, causing him to have too little lumen for shapeshifting into anything that would have a significant effect on the fight. He also noticed that he was now in his normal human form. Acting on instinct, he dove out of the way of the blast, the soles of his shoes getting singed as he just barely managed to escape death. Seeing how violent the girl had been, he decided to play it safe and stay out of the way of the others. Until he regenerated enough Lumen to shapeshift again, he'd have to let the others wear themselves down before engaging them.
