Spica is already lifting the girl off the ground with a small barrier, trying to make sure that none of her body is hanging off.
"I got her, I got her. Just tell me where to carry her. And you must have misheard, because it's only me and Lapis."

"Well, we'll just have to get some food in you when we get back. Can't be having you drained."
Maki sighs, before turning towards the hospital.
"......I'm still a little suspicious that the Zoanthrope we had seemed to be heading here to escape. Something's not right."

Oh, and because I almost forgot, everyone gets one extra Skill Slot and +5 stat points.

Spica frowns at Ito.
"If we're taking her to your place, I'll have to leave quickly; I still have another person I need to take care of as it is. We also have to think about what we're going to do about future Zoanthropes. We can't keep stocking them at my place or yours, not if they keep attacking."

"Maybe she's just....exhausted? I've healed the worst of her physical wounds so she's stable for now, but she'll definitely need some more treatment later. I'd expect her not to wake up for a while anyway, given how badly you guys roughed her up."

As she approaches the Zoanthrope, the Zoanthrope begins to rapidly smoke before exploding in a burst of hot steam, smelling unpleasantly of burnt fat and flesh. No technological components, like last time, except the shattered red lenses on the road, steaming and sparking, falling off as the eyes they once belonged to disappeared or recombined.

Just as before, the steam clears, revealing a young girl, curled up on the ground, wounds halfway closed, eyes almost forced shut and a pained expression on their face.

If Ito were to look to Spica for any sign of recognition, he finds none, only concern and horror. Whoever this girl is, she is a mystery to all of them.

"Not likely. These are back streets, not a main street, so there wouldn't be many people out; they'd still be coming back from work in the city. Given they also tried to blow up the last one, maybe they're trying to keep things as quiet as possible, erase evidence as they go? If they marched into a hospital in broad daylight, they'd just raise questions. Still, you have a good point...."

"Stable, but still unconscious. Whatever happened to her, she didn't take it too well. Took me a few hours to patch her up, and that drained me a fair bit. I left a few spells up to keep her hydrated and fed, but they'll wear off eventually, so I'll need to head back to refresh them.

Also.....didn't you guys have to wait a little for the Zoanthropes to transform back? At least, Lapis kept me posted."
