Saitou supposes the doors closing behind them is only to be expected by now. He is just thankful that they managed to go on forward, even if the way this room is set up is even more terrifying than the last in some sense.

It's only when Chizuru is frightened enough to get closer to him once again that he pulls his attention from the statue and down to the woman. He'd put his sword away before following after her from the last room but he makes no move to touch her even though he does close the distance between them to make them even closer. "I didn't intend to frighten you back there. But, why was it you didn't insist she was the imposter?" It's a concern to be noted, he feels, just in case something was done to her and it's still affecting her. He makes sure, at least, to dutifully stare only at her face and not have them stray.
