[As the tank disintegrates, that murky water gushes out onto the floor, and Azul has quickly retracted his hand away from the glass, curling in on himself as he pulls his tentacles closer to himself so that they're not touching the glass either.
Once the tank and water are no longer an issue, that initially just leaves Azul remaining as an awkward pile of octopus limbs, before after a long moment, he slowly, carefully, unwinds out of the position he had been in here.
It then becomes immediately obvious why Azul had not simply swam to the top of the tank and only a few of his tentacles had made an appearance: not counting what seems to be two of them that has noticeable crystalization, two of them are actually still tied down to the floor of the tank with some cords, while another has what looks like a recently acquired injury freshly bleeding bluish-black blood, one that almost looks like an electrocution burn. (Thanks for that one, Shadow.) There's pieces of broken cord that float away in the water where Azul had managed to actually snap through the others that had tried to keep his hands and tentacles tied down during the time he's been stuck in here.
As for the upper half... well, its hard to tell because of how dark his skin is in merform but judging by how he's holding himself here with one of his hands (the one he had not been writing with), he probably has some bruises, including one that's still healing from where he had gotten punched in the mouth on one of his first days here trying to chat up the guards. His mouth and eyes have black stains around them, the source of the ink that had turned the water so murky.
Frankly, Azul looks like shit. Probably feels like it too, as he hasn't exactly been sleeping or eating well while in here either.
Wordlessly, he gestures to the tentacles that are still tied down. Mind doing something about those too while you're at it?]
cw: bruises, restraints, signs of torture, you get the idea
