Turning abruptly to face parallel to the road again, he says, "Don't tempt me," then starts trying to focus on absolutely anything else as he walks - the Boundary wasn't a shield, he shouldn't expect to see any glow, what if a satellite were passing ahead of them right now, could it detect anything, what if he'd done the math wrong and he never reached it, what if something like Zeno's paradoxes occurred and he never got there-
He tripped, eyes widening and mind suddenly blank. Face first in the dirt in... where was he? What time was it? And why on Earth...
