Ellery floats sometimes.
She doesn’t mean to, usually. But she’s always a little relieved when she does, even though she should probably be more concerned.
It’s peaceful when she’s floating.
When she’s hovering near the ceiling, or across the basement, the affairs of the people in the room aren’t so concerning. Yes, she’s pretty sure one of them is actually her, and she’s pretty sure the man is hurting the other her, but she can’t find it in herself to really care. She can watch him from a distance while he twists her body into unnatural shapes, humiliates her with scant clothing and awkward poses and always that big, black camera shoved into her face…and she feels none of it. For the first time in months, she feels absolutely nothing, and it’s heavenly.
