THE HUM cuts. Hannah stands motionless in the city square. Morning traffic streams around her. She exhales, shifts, and crosses a street without looking.
Morning. Hannah stares at the ceiling of their bedroom. The far pillow is still indented. Will is there (or has just been). Quiet domestic intimacy — easy, practiced.
Student dorm room. HANNAH and NAOMI wake up together — tangled sheets, morning light. A university timetable is taped to the wall. Intimate, student-era flashback.
Hotel room, morning. HANNAH wakes and finds JULIA. The alarm clock reads 7:57 (two minutes later than in 4.18 — a plot-critical difference). The phone did not ring. Something has changed.
