Part 3/9:
Zoya’s visit to her mother, Sandra, at a retirement home reveals more futility. Sandra’s silence and disinterest echo Zoya's internal struggle. It’s here, in a moment of unexpected connection with another resident, that Zoya reveals a secret: she has been reliving the last week repeatedly, thanks to magical caplets she discovered as a child. Each time, she wakes in the hospital, her family unwittingly recreating the same cycle of grief and distraction.
