The wall offers no more resistance going out than it did going in. Brix's gait is measured and graceful as she goes down the hall.
When she's sure she's out of sight of Andrew's cell, she stops, closes her eyes, presses her hands to her mouth. This work leaves her heartsick, not to mention drained. She'd expected--

After a minute or so to compose herself, she returns to the front office to look for Ava.
