She's hyperventilating, for one thing. I'm not sure why, but this in Japan is a sign of insanity. The J'avo, mercenaries infected with an extremely painful mutagenic disease in Resident Evil 6 make pretty much the exact same sound; their mutations have driven them psychotically, suicidally mad.

I've always assumed she was friends with Misaki (which I'm going with in the Westernization, by the way), so "her" coming back really pisses her off. I mean, think about it: someone you used to be close to dies, then comes back from the dead, and rather than this being a good thing, it causes the people you care about to start dying, one of whom right in front of you. That would mess most people up. It would also probably make you very angry.

Of course, you can also see it as her finally being relieved because, having lived in terror for a year, she's in a position to do something about it. And if you listen to her screaming while she's dying, she was definitely afraid.

If you think about what she says to Izumi earlier on, however, she sounds suicidal; perhaps she was hoping either she'd end the Curse or it'd kill her, either of which would mean she was out of the nightmare they'd all been stuck in. But once the chips are down and it does start killing her, she probably realized "You know what, maybe I'm not ready for this after all." I imagine some part of her brain is screaming "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" right up until the cables cut off her oxygen supply and she suffered brain death.
