How will she get them out? It doesn't look like she wants to reveal herself just yet. And it seems she wasn't unconscious just acting like one.
I wonder who she is and when will she step forward, as in, become part of the plot.

Thats not really plot armor.
Plot armor is when somebody takes less damage than they should because the story demands it.
If the person actually puts on real armor and takes less damage because of it, then its not plot armor.

Him getting saved by people who have been affected by his actions is by no means plot armor, its good story telling and/or foreshadowing.

@Goldenzeal Are you not contradicting yourself?
He's being saved from guaranteed death. Why? Because he's the MC.

Even by your definition, instead of less damage, he's taking NO DAMAGE & why is that? Because the story demands it...🤣

No i am not, you clearly misunderstood me and need to go back and read what i said again, or you dont know what plot armor actually is.

plot armor by its loose definition is immunity to damage because the character is too important to die, and with just that you could make a argument that every MC ever have plot armor as long as it's not R.R. Martin who writes the story, as the MC never dies in most stories.
But the way most people use it is that important character survive damage for no logical reason.
Take my old example from the last post, its not plot armor if the character actually wears armor to protect himself.

He is getting out of jail as a result of him picking up the ring, something which has a buildup and a payoff and is a logical course of events if any character was in the same position as the MC.
Plot armor would have been if he got saved from jail by a character he had never interacted with or if he pulled out some mcguffin that he got off screen.
