[ It hasn't been ideal, since the attack on the base. The lack of food beyond what they've been able to bring with them (not much) and what they've been able to hunt (not really her wheelhouse) has made her feel lethargic and sluggish and she's been able to identify a few of the berries they'd found as poisonous, so that's also a No Go.
At the very least, Haru still has her axe, which has been helpful in gathering material for their campfires, and it also means she has it nearby when the bears happen. If she'd maybe been a little less sluggish, she would have thought to call on her Persona immediately, but as it stands, she doesn't, and in the chaos, she's only able to slam the axe down on the bear's shoulder before it knocks her down, pins her with enough force that she hears her ribs crack before actually feeling it, and swipes viciously downwards.
In the moment, she thinks rather hazily that she shouldn't feel too guilty about screaming when those claws rip through her skin, having the presence of mind to twist despite the pain in her ribs so it catches her side and her hip more than her stomach, one arm when she lifts it to try and shelter her face from the next blow.
She might need a little help, whether that involves dealing with the bear or helping her out once said bear has been dealt with, because she's not going to be of much use beyond lying there crumpled on the ground and bleeding profusely.
Yay! ]
b. LIGHTHOUSE
[ Somehow (because I flipped a coin), Haru survives. But she's probably had to have been carried here and since then, she's been barely conscious. Which is likely for the best, because waking up to pain and More Pain isn't really anyone's idea of a good time and if anyone has to treat her, might as well not be aware of it. But she does wake up eventually, settled in some corner of the lighthouse and completely disoriented about it.

Where...?
[ Wait, that's not important, she's trying to sit up--and instantly doubling over, so maybe not a great idea, but-- ]
