Part 2/8:
This grim routine reflects a deeper existential crisis; Emily seems to be grappling with the disintegration of her identity as much as the actions necessitated by survival. After disposing of the body, she briefly seeks solace in a café, attempting to reconnect with herself but remaining profoundly lost.
A Tense Reunion
Upon returning home, Emily finds herself face-to-face with her concerned boyfriend, James. Tension escalates quickly as he expresses anger over her unexplained absence of three days. Emily, anxious about the implications his worry might bring, attempts to placate him only to resort to violence when he tries to call the police. In a moment of desperation, she stabs him in the neck with a corkscrew, killing him instantly.
