Whatever you say, Catra.

Setsuna just pushes past her, wordlessly, picking up the toolbox without even waiting to let Catra offer to do it first.

And, honestly, compared to the last few chambers ... this is child's play. It doesn't go fast, because she's exhausted, bruised, literally crusted with blood where the flashbangs broke her skin, her legs aren't that steady, but this is just a ridiculous obstacle course full of things to avoid being hit by or stepping on, and this is, legitimately, a whimper of a final challenge, by her own experience's standard for difficult training. She doesn't expect the older girl needs any help here, either.

If Catra needs help, though, she doesn't notice, fortunately for Catra's pride; as much as this isn't much of a challenge, she's exhausted enough that it takes up most of her concentration just to keep it that way. Unfortunately for them both, they don't know what's waiting for them at the top ... or that the timer on Planker's "bomb" started when they entered the first chamber, not the last.

Setsuna's also never actually seen a "bomb", before, so she takes a precious few disastrous seconds to even identify what puzzle they're being asked to solve, here at the very bitter end.
