Subin (Opal?) knows there's no hope of getting away but he still tries to run. He knows it's only a matter of time before the vampire tires of the charade. It won't be long before the illusion of escape it's snatched out of Subin's desperate hands. But Subin still tries to make the most of the time he's given. A small part of him hopes that Ruvin will see the effort he's putting in to escape and decide that he's simply not worth the effort. As horrible as it is, he's hoping that Ruvin will target someone else instead.

His lungs are burning and his legs ache. Subin has never been particularly athletic, but it turns out he can run like he's been training his entire life when there's a monster behind him. But that all catches up to him when Ruvin does. He cries out when he's brought to an abrupt halt and he collapses to his knees, gasping for breath. He tries uselessly to tug his wrist free of that impossibly strong grip, tears springing to his eyes.

"No. No I- Please don't do this. I just want to go home. Please."
