love the idea of a captive finally managing to escape, only to willingly return to their captor in defeat. they escape, only to realise that captor was right - it's dangerous out there and they cannot make it on their own...or maybe it's just that there really is nothing for miles, noone to call and no way to return home. maybe it is cold, maybe they are injured, or hungry. whatever it is, they realise it just isn't worth it. maybe it's not even a conscious decision, a weighing up of the pros and cons...maybe they are just so tired, so cold, they start walking back without even thinking about it...because deep down, they know that captor will take care of them, know that captor can fix this...
Better yet, when they return to their captor's home like a kicked puppy, with a tear-stained face and a bloody leg, captor isn't even angry. they don't even bother with a punishment, for they can see their little captive has recieved punishment enough...they will never do that again. instead, the captor talks kindly to them and carries them back inside, into the warmth and comfort of their home. captor mends their injuries and offers a warm meal and a bath. perhaps they chastise captive a little bit, reinforce the idea that they are not capable of caring for themselves...that the world is too big and too dangerous for them, they need captor.
