Youji is a bit torn as to whether he should cut the wire or not, whether he should reinforce it or not; he doesn't want to send Ken another firing, after he'd panicked just then; Youji is relying too much on Ken being Ken-the-experienced-assassin, he realizes.
Dream logic. Because this is a dream world, right? Perhaps this is a different Ken, a Ken more prone to panic and--the fire means something. He knows that. Something Ken may have mentioned--or not mentioned--once and never again.
Granted, panicking in the midst of a fire was a normal and understandable thing, but Ken was not afraid of fire. Could interact with it perfectly well, but--best to find a door, and get out. He still perceived others around them, and it made him uneasy; he'd yet to see one.
