We hide, but He seeks us out. He seeks us out so that we will seek Him.

Day 16: Chase and catch
–
It’s a losing battle, though.
Yuuki’s tackled to the ground. His breath’s driven out of him. He wrestles with the weight on top of him, throwing himself into the wildest struggle he can manage. His fist catches the guy in the jaw. It almost feels like a fluke. Yuuki knees the guy in the stomach and throws him off of himself.
He rolls over, brings his legs under himself and makes to get up and run again.
But he’s out of time.
Another weight lands on his back.
Yuuki plants his palm into the soil and tries to buck him off, but then there’s a hand clamping down on the back of his neck and slamming his head back down. The elbow digging into his back leaves his spine, only to be replaced by a firm grip on his wrist. Before Yuuki can draw in a breath, his arm’s wrenched behind his back and his wrist pulled right up to between his shoulder blades.
