[Vigil sucks in a deep breath as he feels the claw leave his throat, his right hand reaching up to rub the red mark that's now visible on his neck. It might be a little strange to see a bruise form so quickly afterward, but it's definitely there as Vigil continues to hold his throat. He definitely seems pained, as he remains hunched over slightly with his eyes tightly shut, but mostly he's just trying to get his anxiety and racing heart under control.]

[Unfortunately, the pressure around Otto's neck doesn't leave, but it's not tightening any further. Vigil himself doesn't seem to notice the discomfort of the prisoner, even as he finally reopens his eyes to warily look at him and his mechanical arms.]
Y-you really released me?
[He spared him after all that? Guess that's nice, if slightly unexpected.]
