[His eyebrows pinch together, visible right at the top of his visor, like he doesn't understand what Reaper is getting at. Then there's less weight in his hands and it takes him another moment to realize that he's dissolving, and suddenly 76 is clawing at nothing but air.
76 tries to follow the smoke until he's standing and his hands are empty, and it occurs to him that Reaper could have escaped this way the whole time. That infuriates him even more--he bites back an enraged snarl, not wanting to give Reaper the satisfaction of hearing it, in the event he isn't really gone.
76 takes off down the hall at a clip until the sharp pain of his injuries starts to creep into his awareness. He forces himself to stop after a few steps, knowing full well that he's not going to find Reyes until he wants to be found.
He'll regroup. Think this through. Tell himself that he can outsmart Reaper, even if he's not sure that's true. In the end, chasing ghosts is all he knows how to do.]
