In the middle of a beating, giving up on fighting and curling up into a ball in panic and waiting it out.
As a response to pain, withdrawing from the situation, and curling up until they can breathe again, until the pain is no longer overwhelming.

Character A being the stoic leader, refusing to negotiate with the enemy side. But as soon as Character B is put in danger, A folds.
“I’m a grown man, I am not gonna use kitty-cat plasters!”
“I’m sorry, what do you mean kind-of stabbed?!”
