I can't--

[He can't worry about myself because he worries for others before that. Rynlan's voice echoed in the stage, Filbo can see Rynlan's distress. While he tries to pull, he shouts at Rynlan:]

Don't listen to it! Focus, you can--you can do it!

[From his forearms and one of his shins, parts separate from the limbs, falling to the floor and scooting away in the vague shape of some kind of insects. Small strawberries, with googly eyes, are briefly seen before they merge again with his shadow. There's no blood from where they fell -- Bugsnax are great for restoring tissue and healing, after all! -- but it's a clear indication of what will happen unless he's killed.

Mercifully, Rynlan slams a tentacle at Filbo's head. The hit is precise, there's a strong blunt sound when it happens, and Filbo cries out when he's hit. That hurt, that really hurt--but he looks up at Rynlan, dazed, but...still alive]


Don't listen to your shadow and--keep going! You're not gonna let that all hold you back, right?!

[The moment Rynlan hit Filbo, his limbs stopped degrading into shadowy food insects. They did continue extending, the tendrils beginning to dig into the shoulders and thighs, but it seems Rynlan attacking stops the infection's worst effect of him losing parts of his body.

The larger part attacking Rynlan slips from what's left of Filbo's paws, he too dazed to hold on, the shadow swinging at Rynlan to try to hit him in turn]
