[ he starts to walk towards a wall to try and inspect it, but it's then that his vision begins to dim. he stumbles a little, lightly bumping into claude as he takes a step back. ]
Ah—sorry, I just... got a little dizzy for a second. I think I'll be okay, though.
[ RUDE? it's true that hope is tougher than he was when he was a kid, but damb, a punch is a punch. he recoils and holds a hand up to his cheek, now red, with a look of bewilderment on his face. ]
[ he's cut off before he can say anything else, because for hope, it all goes at once. his sight and his hearing go out, and he is surrounded by a void. if claude retains his senses, he'll watch hope flail around in desperation, trying in vain to find anything to ground him in this all-encompassing nothingness. he can't hear himself yell, can't hear his voice start to break. ]
Claude? Claude! I don't—Light? [ yea surprise i'm playing misa who gained shapeshifting powers in a psl i did with her i'm sorry you had to learn this way! jk im just fuckin with you, it's very clear hope is not referring to mr yagami; there's genuine, deep-seated panic in his voice as he tries to reach out, to fight his way out of the darkness. ] Please, don't do anything to her. Lightning, I'm sorry—
[ he still has his sense of touch, so he's able to feel claude's hands. he squeezes them, the only thing he can perceive in this empty void. he grips hard, because he's afraid that if he lets go, he'll never find his way out again. and though he still cannot hear himself—he can feel his mouth moving, but his words don't reach his ears—he pleads once more: ]
Claude... you're still out there, right? Lightning—that's the name of my hostage. [ his hands are starting to go numb. they begin to shake. ] Please... keep her safe for me. Okay?
[ his last sense goes; he can no longer tell how hard he's holding onto claude's hands. they squeeze tight, one more time, before he gives up, and lets go. ]
[ It hurts a little, because there are cuts all over Claude's hands, but he grips back, alarm only increasing at Hope's words. He'd looked outwardly fine while Claude still had his sight. Had he missed something? Shadows?
He makes a soft noise of frustration. ]
Stop, Hope. You're going to fine. This is just—
[ And suddenly Hope disappears.
Or rather, Claude loses his sense of touch. ]
Hope? Damn it!
[ He probably pushes Hope to the ground because he's also reaching out blindly, and they're standing face to face, but he can't sense anything. ]

What? That doesn't sound good.
[ He tries to put a hand on Hope's shoulder, but his vision... blurs? And he hits him in the face instead. ]

Sorry. Didn't knock any teeth out, did I?

Ugh, I'm already assuming the worst is going to happen...

And I'd say the worst conclusion is the most likely one. We're already being treated to bullshit.

He takes a step back at first before reaching forward, taking hold of Hope's hands. ]
