Meanwhile, the red Digimon stares at your wound in concern. You recall how Phascomon was able to interact with the material leaking out, much like how he slashed open Solarmon's face for you to input an .app, and wager that Digimon can help you out. It proves to be true. He simply pinches your injury shut, causing another bout of pain, until the leakage stops and your model is able to stabilize.

When Porcupamon stomps back over in concern, you slide away the red paw and examine the bullet wound. It hasn't been corrupted like the last wound, but that intense agony is something you don't want to feel again.

"Marnie! You're hit! Damn it! I-" He can't even yell at you for being reckless this time. It was an unfortunate event, but your options were limited.

"I'm okay, I'm okay! Just-"

You try to pull yourself upright, but your insides hurt. You collapse to your knees again. Insides aren't supposed to hurt. The lingering damage is plaguing you, even if your data is safe.

"Easy!" Liza calls. She pulls you up again, sliding one arm under your shoulder.

"Marnie, are you okay!? We can call Wind, we-"

"No. Don't tell him I'm hit. Just report success, get his status." You mumble.

Porcupamon looks down at his giant hands, bemoaning the presence of his countless spikes. He can't carry you like this.

"Those little merdina! They're going for the kill straight away?!"

You take a moment to rest while Bella turns on the comms. She mumbles something across it, but you're too dazed to bother tuning in.

"Uh huh... Yup. Okay, I'll tell her. She's uh- collecting data. Bye."

She approaches you with her hands in her pockets.

"Things went okay for them. Light Digimon injuries, but they're fine. He said to keep going. We still need to find the scanner."

You give Liza a nod. Together, you start hobbling forward, waiting impatiently for the pain to fully recede.

"You guys ever been hurt by Digimon before?" You ask.

"No."

"Once." Says Liza. "Just a cut. Not a whole bullet!"

"How does it feel...?" Bella asks.

"Worse than anything we're meant to. The system is supposed to limit it, even if we get, I dunno, run over or something."

"All the more reason you should keep back. I say I charge ahead from now on! No more little plans, just let me wreck 'em!"

You want to argue with him and tell him to save his energy, but you can't afford to keep repeating his Digivolution like that. He's going to have to stay as Porcupamon for as long as he can, while his strength depletes, and you just have to hope the mission is over by then.
