For someone who was still a bit short on breath and had just seen ninja worthy antics, Akito was doing relatively okay. An empty room for his effort was a great irritation but Akito had practice compartmentalizing and burying those feelings. And disappointment was a possible expected risk - you could prepare for that. Likewise, unconventional entrances, though not quite expected, was still something in the rational world - it did happen, though rarely, and you could adapt.
The window suddenly pulling a page from cartoon logic was not something you could prepare for so Akito could forgive himself for the way his pulse quickened, how his mind went blank for once, and how his body - despite how if he was thinking right now, his mind would point out seeing was enough to know the window was no longer there - moved ahead of his mind.
He touched the wall where the window once was - solid.
He pulled out his phone and turned on the light, illuminating the spot - still solid.
Well. There were several ways the mind could react at that point. The safest one was apparently being captain obvious, since he said, voice detached and a little smaller than usual, as though to confirm it to himself.

"The window's gone."
