Throughout the entire fight, Peter had stuck by Layla's side, too afraid to help in the fight against the dalki. He was only a level 2 and not very good at fighting, so he feared that if he tried to help, then he was only going to get hurt, or worse, get in the way.
That was when Erin stepped inside the old building, seemingly confident, but as she approached them, both he and Layla could see that she was shaking.
Audibly gulping, Erin began speaking.
"I can't do this alone. I need… I need help."
Even though Layla didn't want Erin to drink her blood while she was hurt, she realized that the situation had grown too dire.
"You're hurt, you need to drink my blood—" Layla said, shifting her body to get closer to Erin.
That was when Layla doubled over, wincing in pain where her lower torso had been impaled. It wasn't as bad as it was earlier, but she was in no condition to give Erin blood, much less fight.
Immediately, Erin rushed over to help Layla stay upright.
