[ There's only one way out: the door on the other side of the room. And to reach that, Arya will have to get past the fire and the wendigo. Between those two obstacles, there's not much room left in the kitchen. Arya will just have to sprint through, and hope for the best. This is the part where she'd take a deep breath, except Arya doesn't want to inhale any more smoke.
So Arya just sprints, away from the fire, away from the scream. When she reaches the door, she has to throw herself against it once, twice, before the lock breaks and the door opens. Arya knows the wendigo will follow her, that the fire could swallow the whole house, so Arya has to move fast. She runs upstairs next, because the lemon cakes and the scarf are up there, and those were gifts from friends, from home. Arya's already risked her life today, she might as well go all the way. ]
