Assistance? Again, that seems like Ryokai talking. It is the custom of the Guard to stand watch over members disabled by injuries, and she has already been the subject of at least one deliberate attempt at assassination, but these facts seem like mere excuses. More likely, Ryokai-san feared that she might repeat her abortive attempt at yubitsume . Or perhaps he knows of what transpired in the Chairman's office and posted a watch to ensure that she does not attempt suicide. A foolish concern. Even if the shame she felt last night were to return with all its power, the moment for death has passed, and the Chairman has spoken.
