Jewelry as Ownership

Wendy’s necklace, compared with the Doctor/Social Worker’s necklace, compared with the woman’s portrait within Halloran’s space collar as necklace.

The jewelry signifies relationship. Wendy’s space is controlled but not as controlled as a slave. The Doctor’s chain is loose, and Wendy’s is close to the throat.

Additionally, the woman in No.53- who causes Jack and Grady to bump into each other wears bracelets on her arms, signifying shackles.
