After dying by suicide in a previous life following a marriage to Emil McLaren that ended with him blaming her for his first love's death, Penelope is reborn and resolves to pursue her own survival. She systematically removes herself from his life: leaving his birthday party when barred, moving out when insulted, departing their shared city after graduation, and eventually dating someone new. Her detachment triggers Emil's volatile obsession, leading him to confront her with bloodshot eyes and demand she return, framing her new relationship as a joke he can forgive.
