Starla is happy that he's not hitting her.

Everything else- the tight bondage, forced nudity and cold water- is still quite bad.

Outwardly, she looks calm.

Inwardly, she's panicking.

'Will he drown me? Will he just leave me here?!?

She wants help.

"You want out of this?"
She nods, as best she can.

He walks over.

"Let's see you prove it."

He undoes the rope around her hair, allowing her neck movement.

"Put your head under for 20 seconds. If you do, I'll move you."

She gulps.

'Do I have a choice?'
