Ruvin isn't wrong. It's a fate that every human shares. None can escape death, but they do hope that it can be put off for as long as possible. Most humans hope to live until they're old and grey. They don't necessarily expect to with vampires always looming (just because vampires aren't permitted to feed directly from humans, doesn't mean they don't. Humans aren't exactly a protected species) but they hope to.

Subin hoped that he would be among those who went largely unnoticed by the vampires who don't care for society's rules. There are much better candidates out there for a vampire's next meal so Subin never thought he'd catch anyone's eye. And yet here he is, falling victim to 'expectations' instead of 'hopes'.

"...you're right..." If he knew this was to be his last night, he would've done things differently. He would've made sure to speak to his family or invite them to his performance. Hell, he would've told them that he was performing tonight. He'd like to think he would've simply skipped the performance entirely but this is fate, right?

"Will you at least make it quick?" He's sure he knows the answer to that question, though.
