[Jade's not far at all, when the message goes through; he's in their cabin, and has been none the wiser to the happenings outside in the last several minutes or so. Some very muffled banging around from somewhere across the hall, maybe, but some people do make a habit of tossing things about their rooms even lately...though maybe that's far too generous an assumption to be making about anything anymore, on this particular month.
Because the text is alarming to say the least, and it's no time at all before Jade's stepping out the door to 109...to see the doorway on the opposite wall blown off its hinges. Natsuno's form, just inside the entrance, and--from there, it only takes a few wide strides to close the distance and see...the rest...
There's so much blood.
For a brief moment, it's as if the very world is freezing over all at once. Feels like it, anyway. Has Jade pausing in his momentum just outside, for a beat, alarm abruptly falling away to an entirely indecipherable expression on his features altogether, save for a slight widening of his eyes as he takes in the scene within.
--But then urgency's kicking in like a shock, all at once. Slashed throat--still bleeding, must have happened mere minutes ago--]
This--did you see what happened? [Natsuno is expressionless, indeed, though he certainly couldn't be blamed for experiencing some shock of his own at this point. At this precise moment there's not a lot of time to look terribly long at Natsuno, either, when Rita's right there bleeding out; Jade's sweeping inside to drop down to a kneel beside her in an instant. She's not moving at all--the blood on the floor's already considerable--(she's very likely already gone)--but the terrible feeling already sinking into his chest demands that something be done, and if there's still any chance at all--
Nothing nearby to stem the blood. Hands alone will not do. No time to even retrieve a towel from the bathroom here. Jade starts pulling off his gloves and folding them, to press upon the gaping wound in Rita's neck, the movements sharp and quick as if there isn't something in him already seizing up.]
Call Tear at once! There may yet be time-- [There probably isn't any time left at all. There's no breathing here, the pallor of her skin--but Tear has seen worse, and Tear is here this time, and maybe...]
