Moments later, Hamilton and Evie fall into distress as Diana hints at revenge — but as Hamilton races to the bathroom, Diana’s sense of reality begins to unravel.
The next day, in therapy, Diana recalls the evening’s events, shaken. Dr. Carrey gently reveals a difficult truth: Hamilton and Evie died in an accident two years prior, and Diana has been struggling to cope with their loss.
The messages she thought were sent to Evie were, in fact, messages she’d been sending to herself. Overwhelmed by grief, Diana had created an alternate reality to shield herself from her pain.
As the truth settles, Diana confronts her grief, slowly learning to separate past trauma from the present. One year later, she revisits Dr. Carrey, feeling lighter and more at peace. But as she leaves his office, warmly greeting a man holding a baby in the hallway, Dr. Carrey realizes something haunting: Diana, smiling and cradling invisible arms, still has a long journey ahead to fully heal.
