Screaming! Gas filling up his lungs, hitting his body! Green and yellow curl around Jade, making it hard to see now. Tears are flowing down his cheeks from the gas and terror creeping in him.
Tugs on the ropes, he can't get free!
Coughing! But it's not his! He squints, able to see someone undoing the knots. "A-akito...?" Hand in his, tugging him away from the gas. He's coughing, using his other hand to cover his mouth as he follows the light.
Please, please let him through the barrier...
The moment he gets through, Jade collapses, breathing hard. Red eyes focus ahead, flinching from the pain still in his system. Slipping...! No! Jade tightens his grip on Akito's hand, holding on, he has to make it!
"P-please..." He locks his eyes with the light's. "Akito..." Strength gone, he has to hold on!
