[ That white void they went into was hard on her eyes in the simulation but now as they wake up - that light might be bright for some, but for the vampire it's basically blinding. She's got tears in her eyes before the even starts to move her muscles, and when she does she's panting a little from the effort to stave off the coming migraine.
But when she breathes in, something comes to her.
She can smell the blood of everyone in the room.
Her senses are back, even her her body and mind are both groggy, and she can smell everyone, from the delicious (that must be Walter White or Susan, she assumes) to the positively rancid (Adelina or Sayaka, perhaps?) and that overwhelming sensation more than anything else, in this immediate overwhelming moment sees Elda tearing up even more, her hands over her face both to try to adjust her eyes to the light and to hold in the rush of all hell of emotions she might have been feeling during that grueling final battle but needed to remain strong for.
... She is Indomitable, though. And so she does stand the minute her legs don't feel like led, walking with a surprising grace and dignity to meet with everyone else.
She swore she would drag them out of hell, if she needed. She swore she would save Lisbeth, if she could. She swore she was Rachel's friend. ... And somehow, against all odds, it seems she made good on all of them. ]
... This really is the end.
[ and despite her usual bravado, she does sound a little bit surprised herself. ]
