(Roboco's POV.)

I... I don't have any words to describe how I'm feeling right now... it's just... I've never seen Haru in a state as bad as this one... And the fact that I was the one responsible for it only made it a harder pill to swallow. Haru let out a pained grunt as he tried to sit up, his voice was hoarse and full of pain from the wound on his shoulder, which looked like it wasn't even given a chance to clot and stop the bleeding. And the floor was a mess from the blood on the floor. His eyes were dull and almost lifeless, it was so painful to look at... I have to do something.
"Haru... Can you walk?" I asked, and he let out another much louder groan of pain as he forced himself to get up, I could even see tears welling up his eyes from the pain. It was heart-wrenching...
"Slow down... You'll make it worse if you push too much too quickly." I said, doing my best to support him as much as I can. Eventually though he still forced himself to stand on his own. "I'm fine... I can walk on my own, just make sure no one gets in my way..." As much as I hated that idea, I have no choice, we'll be vulnerable to the remaining goons that might still be around here.

I reluctantly allowed Haru to walk on his own, physically wincing as I watched him groan and hiss in pain with every step he took across the halls while I remained on high alert for any threats.
"Ugh... Fuck..." He lets out, normally I might scold him for using such language but... I don't think even I can hold back my tongue if I was put into that situation.
We kept on walking through the halls while I radioed in the situation, and Watson decided that she's not sitting around outside while this is happening and rushed in. And as we continued further we could hear gunfire echoing through the halls, we have to move quick... Screw this, I'm giving Haru a boost.
"Agh! What the- Roboco what are you doing!?" Haru yelped out as I just hoisted him over my shoulder and started running, one hand kept him steady while the other was used to hold my pistol, we have to get out of her right now and this is the fastest way I could think of.
I sprinted as fast as I could without aggravating Haru's gunshot wound too much, though I couldn't help but wince every time I heard him grunt or hiss in pain from being jostled around on my shoulder, he'll have to endure for now...
As we ran, the gunfire drew nearer. Ame is probably in a bind right now trying to reach us, and we have to get to her quickly.
I emerged from the halls and came back to the assembly line I passed through earlier to find Ame in a gun battle with three assailants, I set Haru down behind a bunch of old machinery, making sure to tell him to stay there as I engaged with all hostiles.

Since those goons didn't notice me yet I just pointed my weapon at the nearest target and pulled the trigger, dropping him with a hit to the side of the head which of course alerted the others and prompted them to take cover while retaliating. I didn't have time to be exchanging trigger pulls with them so I rushed it, even as they were firing automatic rifles at me. I ran towards the closest man hiding behind a conveyor and hopped over it to tackle him, charging up the actuators in my left arm, and with a quick yelp from the goon I knocked him unconscious with a single hook. Meanwhile Ame forced the last goon to surrender. I let out a sigh of relief as I went back to Haru and let him stand up on his own again, even though I can barely tolerate hearing his grunts of pain as he did so. The fact that I was the one responsible for that only weighs in on my conscience. I was the one to blame for this whole fiasco, and I'm not sure how to approach Haru about this issue when all is said and done...
"Ugh... Damnit, slow down Watson... It hurts..." Haru grunted out as Ame helped him up, maybe a little too forcefully for his liking.
"Slow down Ame... He's been through alot." I just told her, and she just nodded as she dragged Haru outside with me closely following behind.
Backup arrived not too long after that, and we eventually got an ambulance to take Haru away from here. I made sure to stick with him, with all that's happened these past few days I wanted nothing more than to be with him. Even though the fear of him being mad at me for what I did is still there, nagging at me.
