I think this is deliberately hinting at Adrien and Marinette having PTSD, if that's even the word when it's obviously not post yet? But it's no more in-depth in the story than the summary, and other than that I think it's safe?

He sees Ladybug lying in a pile of rubble in the middle of the room, groaning.
One of the hardest things about being Chat Noir and Ladybug is that their battle instincts don't just shut off when they aren't transformed. Adrien startles much more easily now, and Ladybug's admitted to the same, and it's not safe to surprise either of them, and that's not the only battle reaction that carries over too easily to their civilian selves.
Adrien's own ingrained reactions mean that he doesn't stop to think before he's throwing himself over Ladybug, because the villain is right there, and Adrien also forgets entirely that he doesn't have any magic armour protecting him right now. Ladybug is in danger and it's his responsibility to protect her.
