[Nearly as soon as the fight commenced, Reiji knew that this was something the Sakaki with her couldn't handle. Too many traumatic and unsettling imagery was coming from the mockery that held his face, and she herself was likely stressing him out enough with the injury she had sustained earlier when Pestilence had stabbed her spoilers that was set to happen in that other thread IT TOTALLY HAPPENED SHUT UP. All of this leads to the conclusion that she has to sit out of this battle, a result that doesn't sit well with her.

Despite her misgivings, it didn't stop her from freezing the blood underneath them into a pillar to take them upwards and away from the fight, as well as letting her survey the battlefield for any interesting developments. It's this pillar that starts to recede as the battle ends, and as soon as their feet touches solid ground she winces and drops to one knee, one hand tightening on the stab wound in the side of her abdomen, currently frozen over to prevent damage from spreading.]
