Continuity: When Ro-Man ties Alice up, her hands are up and the straps of her dress are hanging loose. He ties a single loop around her chest that includes her hands. When he goes back to her, the straps of her dress are behind the rope, which goes around her several times. Her hands are tied together in her lap, and there is also a rope around her ankles which was not there. See more »

Quotes

Ro-Man: I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot!
