Synopsis

Clara’s condition has deteriorated dramatically. Emilia sees Hevi’s experiments as the only chance to save Clara. Yet, at this critical moment, Hevi’s research is being shut down. For Emilia, Hevi’s discovery represents her last hope; she is willing to offer her own body to house Clara’s consciousness. Hevi shakes her head in frustration: attempting the procedure on a comatose patient would be life-threatening, and the study has been cancelled anyway. Hevi feels betrayed by her mother-in-law and company CEO, Josephine Nansen. However, Josephine’s husband—department head Lars Nansen—manages to secure a one-week reprieve for Hevi. One week to present something to Josephine. Hevi turns to Emilia once more. She cannot make any guarantees, but she needs Emilia for further trials. Consequently, she agrees to Emilia’s terms and initiates the attempt to transfer Clara’s consciousness from her comatose state into Emilia’s body.
