Northstar Vale who put the Halo novels here?

Benry appeared to be short-circuiting, and Umi didn't know what to do. She thought she was being helpful. He seemed like he was from an alien planet, what with weird hair-topped naked animals dumping him out here and all that. She didn't know what he knew and didn't know, but he appeared to forget how to make words, and she gasped in terror.

He started to curl up, and she promptly attempted to help further by running over to him and going on, Oh my god I'm so sorry what happened wh— oh no, but that seemed to make it worse. So, she stopped talking, scared, and a bit weirded out. She lay down in front of him and put her head on the ground, her paws splayed out in front of her. She stared at him, frowning.

He didn't seem to be choking or like... physically dying, so she stayed there, panicking internally. Oh god, I've killed him, she thought.
