HAYATE

This girl...is a Punisher Skull? He'd thought all Punishers were uncivilized brutes, from the stories. Apparently not.

"I...I can take care of myself...I think." He forced himself up, clinging onto a pipe that ran over the wall, and thoughtlessly pulled a lighter out of his pocket. He'd rather carry out a clumsy cauterization than inconvenience even more people, and started to head back in the opposite direction.

"Thank you for the offer, though," Hayate called weakly over his shoulder.
