[He's not quite sure what to make of the text when it comes. He shoots back a: what's up? and waits for a reply. A minute passes, and he tries again.
buddy?
He's already moving, even though he has no idea where Noctis might be. But it's not until he unslings the camera from around his neck and goes to toss it in the armiger that it really sinks in that something is Wrong. The camera doesn't vanish away in a spray of crystals - it sails a few feet and bounces in the grass.
He tries to summon his gun, and that fails too. He can think of only a couple reasons why this would happen, and neither are good. (Did he disappear, too? Or is it something worse?) So he runs all the way home, and compiles a list in his head of any and every other place Noct could be if he isn't there.

Noct?
[Noct's room is the first he tries, and he feels a guilty pang of relief that his friend is still here. He's still here. But everything else is wrong.]
Pyra...
[He takes a few steps, and then sinks down before them, eyes locked on the blood smeared on Noct's face.]
What happened? Is he...Is he okay? [He doesn't look okay.]
