Although she was tempted to shake her head, to point out that helping Coraline was something that any sane person should have offered to do, Claire kept quiet on the matter instead. Even if she wasn't a hero, the last thing either of them needed was to debate over the matter and waste precious time. She took a deep breath, watching as Coraline put together all of the facts and went on about how it wouldn't be right to let Claire be fed on by this creature, this false woman, for the rest of her neverending life.

And maybe that was true, Claire thought, but better one person captive than for the monster to take more and more.

"Look, if she gets me— or even if Sylar gets me, I stand a lot better of a chance of escaping than someone who can— they can't keep me forever. So run, Coraline, I'll take care of this."
