取らないで
Grammar: ~naide 🔑
nai-form + で = "please don't ~" —「〜ないでください」with ください dropped, a raw plea. 取る (to take) → 取らない → 取らないで = "don't take (her)". The usually ethereal Uika only screams naked prohibitions like this when Sakiko is involved — and right after this cry comes the show's most devastating accident.
