She begins to heal, and we learn that the weekly conversations with her overbearing, manipulative mother were actually all imaginary. When Eleanor is absent from work, and, in fact, planning her suicide, Raymond is sent to investigate, and he helps her to get better by encouraging her to see a doctor and a counsellor, and giving her a cat to look after. This sets in motion a friendship both with Raymond and with the older gentleman and his family. Her carefully planned life begins to unravel when she leaves work one day with a colleague, Raymond, and they witness an older gentleman fall in the street. She has no friends, unless you’re counting her meticulously planned daily routine and the two bottles of vodka she drinks at the weekends.
