It bugged me a bit that Aria’s weapon magically returned to her back between page 17 and 18, which implied in between the two pages Kikori went to grab it and have Aria equipped it back before he brought her back to town, all this while in urgent need for her to have medical attention.
Or it’s just a video game logic, which I also get. The structure of Kikori’s adventure so far is kind of videogame-like after all.
