it's like the world dips, a chill running over her as it dawns on her and she sees amami move before she hears anything at all (and she doesn't hear much, all sound muffled by necessity of hyperfocusing on a way to survive) but it's that movement that snaps her hand back at him, his on her arm and she on his, grip tight because she may not be strong in physical strength but she has a grip and she is using it.
she isn't falling. the world is dark because her eyes are shut tight, but she isn't falling. she also just can't speak just yet, working through the shock of a missed step. she's dangling, sure, but at least she isn't falling. now it's just getting her up, and kaede steels her nerves enough to open her eyes and try to grasp the edge of the floor to make it a little easier.
whatever fear and relief can come in a minute, it's the determined akamatsu kaede locking in.]
