He hadn't lost his head when he held her in his arms, face as white as snow and her eyes frantically following something he couldn't see. Panic didn't overtake him when her eyes rolled back and she stopped breathing a mile away from Konoha. When the little medical knowledge he possessed allowed him to get her heart going, he picked her up not once thinking about what could've happened. He ignored the pain, the burning behind his eyes, the pressure riding in his chest and delivered her to the Hokage herself before letting another medic nin tend to his wounds.
His calmness didn't surprise anyone, much less him. He kept his head no matter what, that's who he is.
What was surprising was that that tightness in his chest didn't go away once his wounds were healed.
