The sudden absence of a limiter while she is already expelling her cursed energy at maximum output means that there 's a veritable explosion that tears through the room as soon as the cursed chains break. Glass casings lining the shelves vibrate and

It takes a moment, before Shiki is able to bring her cursed energy back under proper control again.

Part of her feels oddly ' empty, almost. The abrupt loss of a significant amount of cursed energy leaves her a little lightheaded and dizzy, but she considers it an acceptable trade-off in exchange for finally being able to properly use her cursed energy again.

Shiki 's first action is to take stock of the ongoing altercation between Kiyohira-sensei and Araya.
