Default A rat chewed through a wire, can you help me figure out what it is?

Hello
I'm new to this forum and not very mechanically inclined so please be easy on me if this is a stupid question...

But my battery was dead and when I opened the hood to charge I found a rat had gotten in and chewed through wires... I've done my best to look at electrical diagrams online but just don't understand them well enough

I'm trying to figure out what it chewed through if I can splice it and cover it with electrical tape to drive to a shop or possibly even replace myself.

It chewed almost directly to the end of this connector


I am very grateful for any advice or help you could provide!!

It is a 2000 Camry factory CNG model

Might go to an ign coil. If you can, splice the wire.

Some wires have shielding but this one may not.
