I was thinking of cutting away all the frills and theories and putting forward a simple Scenario.
Beautiful fragile ballerina girl (a long way from home) finds herself in a Relationship with what appears to be a Narcissist.
Not just a Narcissist, but a Malignant Narcissist with a volatile temper.
She prepares to leave him. Passport very necessary.
He confronts her and shows her his masculine strength. Explains what is in store for non-conformism.
She is terrified for her life and screams out for help.
Her "paranoia" is, in reality a desperate and very real fear for her life.
He takes her in a headlock, and man-handles her so that his explanations may be made a little clearer.
She is rendered completely helpless. (By virtue of this man hold.)
He threatens to throw her over the balcony.
And does just that.
He doesn't even look to witness her landing.
This act is witnessed by a passer by.
Still angry, and high on adrenaline, he goes to the lift.
In the mirror wall in the lift, he remembers to take a look at the love of his his life, himself.
