The banging on the tube has the intended effect. Aqua's hands twitch as her body begins to respond and her mind starts to claw its way into consciousness. Her whole body feels heavy, weighted, like she's not used to using it. She feels a bit like she's floating in water. Slowly, her eyes start to pry themselves open and the first thing she can think of is that everything is bright. After at least a decade of being lost in the Realm of Darkness, just about everything is very very bright. She squints and it's right about then that her brain registers that she might actually be drowning.

So, naturally, panic sets in. Aqua manages to keep it at bay for the most part, though she scrambles a bit at what she can reach in the cramped tube. She can't feel anything with her feet, can't reach anything with her hands that might be a latch to get her out. She even tries to summon the Master's keyblade to break herself out, but nothing happens. That might have something to do with the cramped quarters, but with the way her right hand flexes and jerks, it's clear she was expecting something to happen.

Nothing does and she finds herself gasping for breath. No, not gasping. Something at her neck feels weird and... she can breathe. It's not the normal breathing with her lungs, but her mind is starting to clear up and she feels less panicked. That gives her time to focus on what she can see outside the tube. Someone is out there. Maybe they can help her. She'll figure out what happened to her neck after she's out of the tube.

"Please, can you let me out?" she asks, trying to sound as polite as possible, even with the closed in and trapped feeling surrounding her.
