Please be unconsciousness please be unconsciousness, if not well there's nothing to be done but really if they get caught they've just added to the charges.
I might be getting forgetfull but, I think this is the first time we actually see Jakob take a life.
He is probably dead, but ehhh he might just be unconcious
If there was a sickening crack then I wouldn't have hope, however the guard merely made a strangled choke.
I'm going to go with dead. Zivian has a point, if they want their plan to continue they need to make sure nobody knows they're sneaking around.
Though if Jackob just chokes the guard until he passes out then I guess that'll work well enough for the time they need.
