[Straywolf]

The Hunter led Makoto to a safe area. Two other Hunters followed, and kept watch for any Skulls that would approach the area.

"Hold still." Makoto's rescuer carefully cut her free from the damaged protective vest, but the vest wouldn't come off. A broken nail pierced through the vest, and dug into Makoto's back. "This will hurt a bit." The Hunter pulled the nail out of her back, and took the vest off with it.

Makoto grunted in pain, stopping herself from yelling. "Augh...fuck... how bad is it?"

"You'll live. Stay still while I clean you up." Makoto took off her jacket and lifted up the back of her shirt, and the Hunter cleaned and quickly stitched the wound up. He wrapped up her body with a bandage.

"Thanks for the help. Go assist your squad. I'll retreat on my own." Makoto grabbed her jacket and ammo and jogged away from the area while holding her hand over her stomach.
