Codi doesn't even stop to see if Juhani is succeeding in keeping the ghost away, or if she's in any danger herself - the woman told her to be quick, so, no one can fault her for following directions. She nearly runs into the shrine when she reaches its clearing, both in her rush and because one leg's stopping power is much less than the other, slams down her bento box, opens it to check that the food inside is still somewhat warm. Codi nearly melts on the spot with relief when she realizes that it is, but manages a small victory dance anyway, truncated when her leg collapses underneath her. That's really starting to become a problem, actually. There's a lot of blood.
Dully, Codi stumbles back to her feet with the intent of finding a new path back to camp that doesn't run her into her previous gaggle of ghosts, when she hears the distinct sound of footsteps and angry spirit noises from the way she came. Juhani. It would be very un-hero-like to leave behind someone that just saved her skin, wouldn't it? Thinking quickly, Codi looks over her surroundings for anything of use - a weapon, a distraction, anything - when her eyes settle on a bundle of oranges left as an offering to the shrine by someone else.
Surely the person who left those won't miss them, right? It's a victimless crime as far as Codi is concerned. She swipes one and limp-dashes back down the path, holding her magic lantern out in one hand and the orange extended in the other.
"I've got your dumb fruit!" she yells ahead of her. "Come and get it you picky bastard!"
