[ The feed is actually sort of a mess - definitely not recorded on purpose. Especially since the communicator seems to have been dropped on the ground rather forcefully (even though accidentally) and started recording because of that. But because of its slanted state it's hard to tell what exactly is going on. There's a hint of familiar blue armor

Corruption of purifier systems has been expunged and eradicated. Self repair functions activated.
[ Rock's body was still immobile as Kyouko shook him, the blue boy looking almost dead to the world. But even if he didn't physically show it, it was an entirely different case on the inside, his mind as active as it had ever been... yet not fully aware of anything at the same time. ]

Full system restore will be complete in [ ERROR ].
[ He knew something was horribly wrong. Even if he didn't know where he was, what had happened to him, and what condition he was in now. The last thing he remembered had been fighting those... things, before they seemingly disappeared into him. And shortly after that, his body seemingly turned on him, taking away any control he had over himself... before everything went black. ]

Vital systems will be online in one hundred and eighty seconds.
[ In fact, it was still black. So much so that he had to wonder if his eyes were even open. He couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, couldn't feel anything.

[ She can practically feel the guilt coming from him, while she knows that she should be the guilty one for not finding him earlier, for not preventing those fae from doing whatever it is they were doing with his limbs. Maybe she should have looked more often, should have looked here first to start with, but.. those are all empty worries. She can't change the past. But that means she doesn't want to hear Rock apologize either, not now.

Partially she wants to just shove him off her and put him in his place for apologizing like some idiot, but she doesn't. She couldn't. So instead she just shakes her head lightly as he clings to her. ]

Don't say that. ... Don't apologize. I'll just get you back to the village right now, and I'll find some way to repair you and it'll be okay. [ She pauses for a slight moment. ] Then apologies and the like won't even have to be mentioned.

[ The need to apologize was still there, still nagging at the back of his head. And for a moment, he wanted to shake his head and disagree with her, tell her that he needed to apologize, needed to make this up to her. But... he didn't. Instead remaining silent as he continued to cling to her, letting her words linger in his mind as he closed his eyes and simply found comfort in her presence. ]

... Alright. [ He murmured softly from her shoulder, his hold on her loosening slightly as the strain of holding himself up to her began to make itself known. ] I guess I'm in your hands then.. but that's fine.

[ He let go of her then, his back landing on the tree stump as he grimaced slightly from the impact. But even with the condition he was in, he couldn't help but smile softly, his eyes closed as he ignored the pain and simply said three words. ] I trust you..

[ 'I trust you.'

No one had ever trusted her. She had been little more than a street rat of sorts, after all, even as a Puella Magi all she did was making sure that her own needs were satisfied, even at the cost of other people's. Of course no one would ever trust in someone like that, and yet.. now it happened. And she can't fail again, not like she did with Sayaka. She can't lose more people important to her. ]

That's good. [ She resists the urge to go back to her regular self and act all cocky about it, instead smiling even a little softly as she looks down at him. ] I won't disappoint you. Don't worry.
