The momentary feeling of being suspended in mid-air made Freckles realize that she was already falling to her death. In that split second, Freckles resigned to her fate since she was falling away from the Wall. Had it been towards the Wall, she would've attempted to pierce it with her metal shard and try to halt her descent.
For a brief moment, Freckles saw that the droplets from the storm were beginning to decelerate. She realized that she was falling just as fast as the droplets from the storm and that scared her a little bit. Please, if I die, I hope it would be quick. I don't want to feel my body blowing up when I hit the ground. Freckles prayed as she closed her eyes. That way, she won't be able to gauge her distance from the ground as she fell.
