[ There's not much for Jack here in terms of actual thought so much as just running off fear and instinct. The shocks almost feel secondary to what Rhys does to his eye, and he desperately tries to claw at him or do anything he can just to get him off or away, even when Rhys draws the scalpel away. ]
Fuck you.
[ He's breathing hard and on the verge of passing out, but he still feels that's important to say, apparently. It's brief, since that's about all Jack has the thought to manage, but even though he's barely listening to Rhys, just staring him down with his one remaining eye, and when that scalpel is poised over his throat, the expression on Jack's face is easy to read. He's about to die, and he knows it, and the betrayal he feels in that moment is clear. Though of course, that last statement of course catches his attention. That expression shifts to confusion, but it's even briefer.
The scalpel sinks into his throat, and Jack makes a noise again, but this one is much wetter. He almost scrambles to grab Rhys's wrist, but it doesn't seem to be to stop him. Jack doesn't have the strength to, and maybe he just knows he can't. But he still grabs Rhys's wrist desperately like he wants to at least hold him there.
Though he'd been ignoring the window up to this point, he looks that way briefly, to Elizabeth and Sakyou primarily, but as Rhys moves to vomit, Jack's grip on his wrist weakens enough to allow it. He looks up to the ceiling of the room, and as Jack bleeds out, he closes his eyes with a pained expression, though it's not for the physical pain.
Jack dies thinking of how Elpis is going to die with him. ]
