Page 26, small rulebook:

Quote

If two Triggers would resolve at the same time the Defender’s Trigger is resolved first.

Since both Misaki's Next Target and Collodi's Run Away Home are Triggers, Collodi resolves his first.

___

Not applicable in this case but you might also want to reread section on general timing in case you ever run into situations with where multiple Abilities would also take effect. See page 51, small rulebook:

Quote

General Timing
Most Abilities grant a passive effect, some of which have their effect
when a model suffers damage or is killed. Whenever any Ability
happens at the same time as any Triggers, the Triggers are resolved
first. If two Abilities happen at the same time, resolve them in the
following order:
1.  The Acting Model resolves its Abilities.
2.  The Defending Model (if there is one) resolves its Abilities.
3.  Any other models controlled by the First Player resolves all of
their Ability effects in any order the First Player chooses.
4.  Any other models controlled by the Second Player resolves
all of their Ability effects in any order the Second Player
chooses.

To add to Nikodemus's answer...

Malifaux doesn't use the concept of a "stack" like Magic the Gathering does, everything just happens when it says it does.

In the rules for declaring triggers (in the rules for both duel types), that's where the statement that defensive triggers are resolved before the attacker's triggers (if they would otherwise have happened at the same time).  That's the opposite of the normal order you'd expect from General Timing, but that difference is important in how many of the defensive triggers work.  If Wyrd ever does a 2.5E rulebook, I'd really hope that a footnote gets added to General Timing pointing out the important exception to the normal ordering.

If you're new, it might be confusing that the Abilities on the front of the card with suits next to them are Defensive Triggers and work differently than the rest of the abilities.
