The dark stops, tiring himself out. Pounding on the barrier with his fist, both hands on it and shaking. No...why can't he get past? He needs to save Jade, they can't lost him! Why can't he do anything?!
The light sinks to his knees, shivering, eye closed as tears fall. No, no, no...then he hears his name. Head snaps up, gold eye opening to focus on Jade. Calling for him? But why? Last time Agito couldn't get past, he couldn't either...does Jade think he's going to be able to? The dark won't want to put him in danger, but they need to save Jade...
Another scream of pain from his father does it. Akito scrambles to his feet and bolts forward. "Father!" Agito starts, then watches as his brother darts forward, passing the barrier as if it wasn't there. What...?
The light flinches slightly as he hits the gas; it stings a little but he can bear it. He's got to save Jade! Akito stops at his father's side, coughing a little. Squinting, it's hard to see, but he can make out the ropes. Pulling at the knots, gold eye flashes angrily, mad that the curse thinks it can try to take Jade away from them. One rope off! Akito darts around his father, getting the ropes off one by one. Agito watches from the other side of the barrier. "Akito...hurry..." he mutters softly to himself.
Once the last one's off, the light stands up, tugging on his father's hand. "Ootosan...come on!" he calls, coughing slightly. The gas isn't affecting him too much as it seems o be doing to Jade, but it is hard to breathe. Akito starts forward, wanting to get out of it as soon as possible with his father. Hoping that the barrier will let Jade pass...
