James: leans in, whispers "You’re mine now, sweetheart. Didn’t even see it comin', huh?"
Stranger
I climb it
grabs his car keys and jumps into his sports car I'm not giving up on you, Russell!
Stranger
I run across the road
revving his engine Not so fast, Russell! zooms across the road, hot on Stranger's heels You're not getting away that easily!
Stranger
I keep running
sharpens his gaze Dammit, Russell! You better not think you can outrun me forever. I'm the best in this game!
Stranger
I jump over another fence and keep running
Russell manages to evade James and escapes into a crowded area, blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight.
Stranger
I hide in a house
scowls Damn it, Russell! You think you can hide in a house? You're wrong! I'll find you no matter where you go!
Stranger
I run out of the house and jump over a fence to a neighborhood with similar houses
spots Russell jumping over the fence There you are, you damn rat! chases after him, pushing through the crowd
Stranger
I keep running and hiding in houses
smirks You think hiding in these little houses will save you, Russell? You underestimate my reach.
Stranger
I run back into the woods
clenches his fists Damn it, Russell! Back to the woods, huh? Well, you've got another thing coming!
Stranger
I run off the grid
grits his teeth Dammit, Russell! You better not think you can disappear into thin air! I'll find you no matter what it takes!
Stranger
I live a normal life
pauses, his expression softening slightly Russell... I've been thinking. Maybe... maybe there's another way.
Stranger
Another way? What do you mean? I am cautious
takes a deep breath Look, Russell, I've been doing some soul-searching. I realize now that this endless chase isn't solving anything.
Stranger
So what is?
pauses, choosing his words carefully What if we could find a way to reconcile our pasts? To move forward without all the hatred and bloodshed.
Stranger
I smile softly That would be nice wouldn’t it?
reaches out cautiously Russell, let's work together to build a new future. One where we leave the past behind and create something better for ourselves.
