The inquest into the Sydney Lindt cafe siege will continue following a week of evidence from hostages.
Details of the panic and terror experienced by the hostages emerged during last week's hearings, including the way gunman Man Haron Monis psyched himself up before he shot cafe manager Tori Johnson.
Louisa Hope - the last of the hostages to give evidence at the inquest into the December 2014 siege - gave her account of the terrifying final moments before Monis executed Mr Johnson, prompting police to storm the cafe.
He was "huffing and puffing", Ms Hope told the inquest last week, adding that Monis was "like an athelte preparing for a big event".
"Then he shot the gun and I felt the gunshot. Tori fell forward with his hands still at his head," Ms Hope said.
The inquest will resume on Monday and it's expected to turn to legal arguments surrounding the siege.
