[Ion closes his eyes tight and gasps as they begin to spin out of control--their descent grinding to a rapid halt. There's a sickening sound--a crunching snap--and for a long moment he doesn't dare to move. He's winded--he can feel the cable pressing tightly against him at all sides except the front of him--where he's attached to his friend like a leech.]
Are you...
[Whatever question he was going to ask his friend dies in his throat once he dares to open his eyes. The teen he's stuck to is limp--practically severed in half where the rope has winded. Ion's whole body freezes as he stares at the corpse.
He feels a scream rising from somewhere deep inside of him, but never hears it leave. Tears sting at his eyes and blur his vision as, with shaking hands, he grabs at the cable to see how tightly stuck he is.
It's all he can do to repeat the order in his head as he attempts to free himself. He's going to have to climb down on his own now, weak arms or not, and Ion knows he won't be able to do that if he can't stay as calm as possible.

Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic don't panic--

But Jonouchi--oh, Lorelei he was sorry--]
