The result of her fall from the wall—losing her grip like a fruit breaking free from a tree—would naturally end the same way: eventually landing on the ground and being mangled by the height of the fall. That was exactly what would've happened to Marian if she had truly hit the earth.
Even as she was falling, Marian showed no sign of moving, her body stiff like a statue made of stone. She remained frozen in an exact posture, as if glued in place.
But halfway down, she suddenly jolted—as if regaining her senses. Her breath quickened as she looked down. The speed at which she fell and the way her body spun uncontrollably in the air disturbed her, but in the end, she managed to twist herself to face the earth below.
"I'd be like a cherry that splatters if I really hit the ground from this height... I need to do something, and quickly!"
