Oh. Oh. Peter pales instantly as the implication hits him. Painful and horrifying, awesome. That Hollow definitely could have pulverized Héctor's arm if it had wanted to. Good thing it stuck to just breaking it and moving on.
"Uh, I like limbs too," he says. "And I don't really wanna find out what happens if I attach a full prosthetic to a magical skeleton." Would it get covered in flesh? Would Héctor just have a robot arm? That - would actually be an interesting engineering project, but. Focus, Peter.
He clambers up what's left of the gazebo and fishes his backpack out of the wreckage. Well ... the good news is that the tape seems all right, so he pulls it out. The bad news is that the monster skewered a hole through his backpack, so. Uh. Yep. That's a ruined set of homework. At least the practice notebook was shoved aside, so that's intact. Not so much his exercises and the textbook itself. Sigh.
"Lemme at least get it back in place," he says, holding up the tape. "That's the least I can do."

Since this is kind of his fault and all.
