Being in immediate danger — for example, hearing a sudden noise or knock that might mean the Nazis have found the Annex, or realizing a betrayal is about to expose them. In Act II the people in hiding are constantly terrified of discovery; that threat to their lives and freedom can make someone go rigid with fear (muscle-tightening, frozen in shock).
