Sunshine does another emote when her damage hits. With a couple second delay, a "safe to return" trigger could be added for each of those messages.

Sunshine Sensible Warmth begins casting Lashing Blades Left.
Sunshine Sensible Warmth begins casting Lashing Blades Right.
Sunshine Sensible Warmth begins casting Lashing Blades Rear.
