If Michael couldn't understand what was happening to Maria, Maria definitely couldn't understand what was happening to her. One moment she was upset and hurting, wanting Michael to just hold her and reassure that things were all right. She wanted him to try and understand why hearing that he was dead had torn her up so badly.
The next thing she knew there was pain flooding out through her and she ended up on her side on the sand. She was in pain and she was confused. However, when she heard Michael cry out, everything narrowed down to just one point:
Michael was hurt.
"Michael," she whispered, struggling to get up so that could go to him. She managed to get to her feet, only to almost go down again as soon as she made it to his side and wrapped her arm around him. "Where are you hurt? We'll get you to Max."
