Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The gap between the rocket and the scaffolding is the most dangerous threshold in Sevrin and Sarah’s escape. It is a metre-wide void with a fatal drop below, requiring a leap of faith to cross. When the Thal soldier seizes Sarah, the gap becomes a site of psychological torment, where she is dangled over the abyss as a threat. The gap’s width and the soldier’s taunting dialogue (‘If I should just slacken my grip…’) underscore the precariousness of their situation and the Thals’ absolute power. Symbolically, the gap represents the thin line between freedom and captivity, hope and despair.
Terrifying and disorienting, with the wind rushing past as Sarah is dangled over the edge. The gap’s width amplifies the sense of vulnerability, and the soldier’s taunting words create a psychological abyss as deep as the physical one below.

His taunting words—speculating on the agony of a fall—highlight the gap’s role as both a physical and psychological barrier.
