Tight ties do more than just keep someone. For Nyssa Nevers that the rope is like a buff. It embraces her and offers her the strength she needs to endure. She relies on it. It makes her feel safe and protected that no individual may when someone is stripping off control and her dignity. Whether she PD groping her entire body is banging her throat or only thumping her till she’s wracked with sobs , provided that her lover is there she knows she is going to be alright. And when PD leaves her abandoned at the darkened area, the rope is what supports her to what promises to be a very long night.
