Three panels.
Panel 1.
Ken is still in pain but he smiles weakly. Pucchie is behind him. There are "ows" around Ken's speech balloons.
Ken: The bullet missed my spine.
Ken: Guess it could be worse--
Panel 2 shows Ken from behind, a shining light from below.
Panel 3 shows Pucchie, his hands lightly on Ken as he lifted Ken's hoodie to show the injury (that's in the process of healing/scabbing) and heal them. Pucchie is all a-glow while doing this.
Three panels.
Panel 1. Pucchie mumbles something while drawing out a heart on Ken's lower back.
Panel 2. Ken is smiling sympathetically, not really happy or sad. It's more like a smile you give when someone thinks they're able to cure you but you know it doesn't exactly really work, like not at all, but you still appreciate what they do because you're not a jackass. Be like Ken.
Panel 3 has a huge SFX saying "Healed!" with Pucchie raising his hands to their air with pride. Ken is looking back, still seated on the floor.
Pucchiemon: ALL DONE!
Ken: Thank you very much, Pucchiemon.
They're all sitting on the floor, still. I want you to know that I drew Pucchiemon posed very cutely twice, because he's our fairy and I love him, we can't be friends if you hate him.
(I am joking, obviously.)
Pucchiemon, looking up at Ken in worry: Nothing else hurts, right?
Ken, hands under one leg as it's lifted: Nope.
Pucchiemon: Are you suuuuure?
Ken: Yep. Sorry to worry you.
Ken then pats and rubs the top of Pucchie's head.
Pucchie looks surprised as Ken comforts him, kisses him on the side of his head.
Ken: You always protect me, Pucchiemon.
Ken: I've only gotten better thanks to your care.
Ken: Don't blame yourself anymore, okay?
Three panels.
Panel 1 is a close-up of Pucchie's face as comedic style tears are welling up in his comically giant eyes. He's sniffling and blushing.
Panel 2. Pucchie has just tackled Ken to the ground. Ken's legs go up in surprise (and his hands), while Pucchie's legs and heart ears are seen. A fairy has just tackled a grown man, someone call the worm police.
There are hearts in the background as Pucchie yells I LOVE YOU, KEN and Ken's only audible, surprised reaction is WAH!
Panel 3. HI, IORI. He looks like he'd been waiting for Ken, with a folder in his hands. Ken does appear in a leather jacket holding folders under his arms. He also appears to be suffering from "evidence of kisses on his face and hands." Jesus.
Ken: Hi, Iori. Sorry I'm late.
Iori, now with an exaggerated gag face: Hi, Ke--HUH?!
Oh hey, Armadillomon is here too! Unfortunately he's off-camera. Sad. But he's speaking from the ground!
Armadillomon: D'ya get jumped by moms again?
What? You don't think the fangirls would, in the future, form a group of fangirls who are now mothers when Ken is old enough to be a dad? You sit there and you tell me it wouldn't happen--(Viy is now being dragged off the alt text stage.)
