CW, I used "cut the rope" deliberately. To me, "dropping the rope," especially to someone who doesn't run with it (like Mila's H, who keeps coming around) means the rope is lying on the ground in front of you, ready to be picked up again. Cutting it implies a more deliberate, and more permanent, action. Just semantics, really.
