[Aerith also has to squint momentarily against the light, but she quickly forces her eyes to open wide. She has to see where she is going, and she sent up a silent prayer for the gate to be destroyed, or at least beat up enough for her to crash through and get out.
She is practically on top of it before she can see it properly, and thankfully there is a large hole where Tifa's spell hit it. It isn't exactly large enough for the truck, but she should be able to hit it hard enough to skim through.
And skim she does - putting the gas pedal practically to the floor, they zip through the hole. The screech of metal against the vehicle makes Aerith automatically wince in response, but she doesn't slow down.
It is strange to drive on the rough terrain, and way bumpier than inside the city. Still, she keeps going forward. The sense of urgency she feels is mixed with some anxiety now, because she is out of the city, something she doesn't remember ever doing.
But first, she has to worry about their pursuers. She risks a glance in the rear view window.]

Do you think they're stopping?
