Terror

When the body knows what the mind refuses to accept, the only thought left is run.

Kind Environmental or Procedural Threat

Terror is a move, not just a mood — it triggers when overwhelmed with fear and doing anything other than fleeing, hiding, or cowering.

When you are overwhelmed with terror, and do anything other than flee, hide, or cower, pick 1:

Work yourself up to the task (ask the GM what happens in the meantime)
Act rashly and recklessly (incurring additional cost or consequence)
Mark a debility of the GM's choice, and act immediately
