每缠上一圈橡皮筋，瑞秋就知道自己挣脱不了。如果缠上一两圈，她或许还有一线生机，但手肘和腿上缠了几十圈，她就彻底没救了。但她还是得试试。塞在嘴里的橡皮筋让她呻吟连连，在原地扭动着，每一次拼命的拉扯都让她肌肉紧绷。橡皮筋能伸缩却始终不肯松开，一次又一次地把她的四肢拉回原位。即使她使出浑身力气，也挣脱不了任何一圈。汗珠从她皮肤上滚落，呼吸变得急促，几分钟之内，她就筋疲力尽了。As each rubber band is applied, Rachel already knows she won't be breaking free. With one or two, she might have had a chance, but with dozens layered around her elbows and legs, there's no hope. Still, she has to try. Grunting and moaning into her gag, she thrashes in place, muscles straining with every desperate tug. The bands flex but never give, pulling her limbs back position again and again. Even with all her strength, she can't manage to dislodge a single one. Sweat beads on her skin, breath growing ragged, and within minutes she's left out of energy.
