Riza had not wanted Utena to come. She had wanted to fight, to tell her to stay safe in the city and not risk coming out when there was a monster out there. She just didn't have the strength. She could barely manage staying conscious, much less mount a convincing enough argument to stop the determined girl from running - once again - to her rescue ( ... )

Utena ran over to the prone figure. She could see the gashes in Riza's chest and stomach. Mentally cursing herself for not bringing bandages, she crouched down next to her.

"Riza-"

She stopped short, staring at the burn on Riza's face. True, probably not as bad or life threatening as the gashes but it was quite angry. What had happened out here?

"Can you stand," she asked hoarsely.

She breathed, shallow, short. It hurt, sharp pains stabbing through her body every time she inhaled. She hated to be this way, to frighten the people she cared about. Utena and Dawn and Jason. Scar and Mei. Priscilla. Voices that were swimming in her head now, through the red haze of pain.

Riza bent her knees, seemingly the only part of her to have avoided severe injury.

"I'm not sure," she breathed, voice almost too soft to be heard. "I. I can't pick myself up."

She had managed at least to straighten out the disturbing angle of her broken right arm and was cradling. But she didn't have the strength to withstand the pain she knew would flood over her if she tried to sit up without help.

"Okay." Utena moved to Riza's left side, not really wanting to bother the right arm that Riza was cradling. She gently placed Riza's left arm over her shoulders, wrapped her arm around Riza's back and prepared to lift.

"Ready? On three. One..two..."
