Hokuto flinched and scrambled forward to help Sora; not good. She didn't stand up, but got on all fours as close to the edge as she dared. "Take my hand," she said, reaching for him. He could toss his flashlight to safety or drop it, his choice, but he was probably going to need both hands free to get back up safely.

She'd never pulled someone up like this before in her life, helping friends on the playground didn't count, but she knew enough to keep herself in a position as stable as possible and not shift her weight any further forward than she had to. Sora couldn't weigh too much more than she did, if at all, but that probably mattered more than strength; they might need Momo to help, but Hokuto was pretty sure she needed to be the one to really pull Sora up.

If they ever came back here, it would be with rope.
