Daniella isn't sure as to how to best react to the message as she stares at his message. He's not aware of what's going on, is he?

"He keeps sending the same message and it would be insane to insist that my reality is his reality. On the other hand, it would also be insane to force myself to go along with his sense of reality... right?"

Realizing that she left him on read, she quickly types on the phone.

Daniella

yep!

hbu?

Luca

?

😂😂😂

you good?

Daniella

yep!

"Type something before you seem suspicious," Daniella remarks to herself and returns to the phone.

Daniella

just anxious to get home!

i'll meet you at the airport in a few! love you!

Luca

love you too!

Daniella hearts the message and immediately turns off her phone.

A flight stewardess approaches her and awkwardly begins talking. "Excuse me Miss..."

"Yes?"

"It appears that we have overbooked your seat." Two kids pop behind the hostess as she finishes her sentence. Unaccompanied minors, to be specific.

"Ah."

"As an apology for the inconvenience, we would like to upgrade you to Business Class."

A smile breaks on to Daniella, who eagerly gets up. "I don't mind at all. Anything to help!"

Daniella happily follows the Stewardess into Business Class, which is empty and divine-looking. The Stewardess offers to take Daniella's belongings and place them in the overhead compartment. "Would you like a glass of champagne before takeoff?"

"Don't mind if I do." The flight attendant smiles and walks away.

As Daniella settles into her seat, she is given her drink. The champagne is also accompanied by warm wet towels for her hands.

"Oh my god, this feels like a spa treatment. now that's what I call flying in class! I can definitely get used to this!" she remarks to herself.

"Would you like another glass after we take off?" asks The Stewardess.

"Why not? Is there a limit?" Daniella asks her.

"Not at all as long as you can handle yourself!" The Stewardess answers with a wink.

Once the flight takes off, Daniella enjoys her glass of champagne while watching TENET... which seems to go black.

She jolts awake as the plane dips slightly.

"Oh god. I'm cursed, aren't I?! I should have never taken this trip. I'm never going to get home...!" she laments to herself as the same Stewardess approaches her.

"Sorry miss. Have you made your choice of meal yet?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Chicken or Fish?"
