Akiha pulled on the chain when the sickle was released, intending to jerk the weapon away from Amamiya, but her arm seized up with the telekinetic hold halfway through the motion. Her immediate reaction was to spread her plunder, to make the woman's whole arm ignite, and immobilize her in place, suspended in the mid-air.

She then made the mistake of thinking the wires were a physical attack. She pivoted on her foot and swept her free arm at them, knocking two of the three away. She thought the third was going to pass harmlessly over her shoulder, but she misjudged the initial trajectory of that wire, and it grazed her shoulder just enough to give Amamiya what she wanted.
