"You're it."

And the child runs. Ducking back the way Ariadne came.

Stop to help - that must have hurt, maybe even doing real damage when they can move again - or go after the child now? Only a momentary hesitation, but enough to remind her that she's not, perhaps, as hardened as she thinks...

In any case, a second or two later, she darts off the direction she just came from, ball clutched in her hands. She understands the nature of the game here well enough now, and she's determined not to die.
