Ino looked to the strange bird but decided to follow because they had no other options at this point. After plenty of struggle and wincing from Ino, they make it to the group and to safety.

A breath she didn't know she was holding whooshes out of her.

The boy in Haruto's arms seemed to immediately spot someone he recognized, squirmed and reached out. Ino glanced back at the two of them; for someone that looked so fierce in that armor and had a lot of power, it was obvious he was being careful with the boy.

Maybe this station had a few more good guys than she thought.

The guardian was thanking Haruto over and over, cradling the boy to their chest and very near tears. Ino, still injured, couldn't help the small smile at seeing the boy reunited with someone he knew and it was thanks to the two of them. That was the silver lining.

She moved to stand beside Haruto and watched as the two disappear into the small crowd again. "At least that's a few lives we managed to save from this," she commented aloud and then looked at him sidelong.

"And you saved mine." Now that things weren't so chaotic (at least less chaotic, the fire was still going but it was controlled from spreading) the rush of relief -- and new pain -- was immediate.

"Thanks."
