Akemi keeps her face as obscured as she can while the restraints are removed. She hears at least one person leave the room, but she doesn’t dare look up to see for herself.
Rather than getting up the moment she is free, she sits very still, practically holding her breath as she methodically reassembles some sense of composure for the others.
Finally, after several moments, she accepts Suzune’s offer to be helped to her feet. She still isn’t quite willing to look at either of them, but she does at least offer them a nod.
She speaks again, finally, in a softer but more even voice, at least indicating that she had managed to pull herself somewhat back to her usual self, for better or worse.
“…I’d…like a few minutes in my room, alone. Afterwards…tea sounds…acceptable.”
Despite her slow return to composure, both Suzune and Luca would be able to feel her shaking slightly as they help her up.
Before being led from the room entirely, she shoots one final glare toward any warden who dares to remain.
“…are you satisfied yet?”
She just wants to go home.
