Ryan looked down at the floor. Then he got down on his knees next to the cot. "Ariadne. I know you don't want to be here, I get that. But, you have to live with the fact that you are going to be here with me for the rest of your life. Now, I want to show you a good life. If you continue to be good, I'll give you clothes, food, a nicer bed, a TV, maybe some books to read. You might even get a chance to leave the dungeon and go outside. I live far in the woods, it's very nice out there. But, if all you want is for me to leave you alone, then that's what I'll do... I'll just walk out of here, take the food with me, lock the door, turn off the water supply to the shower and the toilet, and you'll never see me again for the rest of your life. I'll just leave you in here to starve. Is that what you want Ariadne? Is that how you want to die?"
