Recovery is the worst.
Sayo limps everywhere she goes and gets tired. She's not used to this exhaustion. The last time she had been exhausted had been when she was dying and quite frankly, she'd rather not repeat that process for at least a few more years. That would be nice.
Taiga grabs her crutches and resists the urge to hug her too tight. Instead he lets her walk, limping and with aching armpits.
Koh apparently had set himself on fire with Burst Mode. What kind of Night Claw did that, now? Really. She was going to have to train him, give him some real endurance. He wouldn't be able to keep up with her otherwise… assuming he wanted to. She hoped he would, he was a fun opponent to play with, had lots of ideals and crazy thoughts.
He also looks at her and doesn't see anyone but her. Maybe her parents in the glint of a knife, but mostly he sees her.
Sayo finds she likes that plenty.
