Nora wakes in the dark, exhausted, noticing an abstract tree picture and a man sleeping beside her. Unsure if he is Ash, she feels two rings on her finger, suggesting marriage. When the man murmurs her name, Nora claims she is going to the loo and slips into the hallway with her phone.

On the landing, a small child appears and calls her “Mummy,” describing a nightmare about bears. Torn between awe and fear at meeting her daughter, Nora tries to soothe her without waking Ash. She reassures the girl there are no bears and, lacking the child’s name, speaks gently as the girl asks Nora to hold her hand.

Overwhelmed by a sudden swell of love, Nora lets the girl lead her into the child’s bedroom. It is 2:32 a.m.; toys clutter the warmly lived-in space. The girl asks what happens when you die, and Nora, uncertain, admits no one truly knows.

Seeking to comfort her, Nora offers the idea that before dying one might get a chance to live again and choose a different life. She promises many happy adventures ahead, which sparks shared warmth over camping memories the child loves.

To ease the child’s anxiety about the unknown, Nora suggests a game: when worrying about uncertain futures, focus on what you do know. The girl agrees, and their quiet connection steadies Nora within this new, deeply affecting life.
