Joana had been missing for months after an anxiety crisis at the ice cream shop. Maria wants to know what happened and makes a revelation: she is pregnant. Joana, who seemed willing to rekindle the relationship, feels pressured and unable to commit any further. Joana is a programmer and had moved into her friend Ana's place, claiming she needed to focus on work. Ana decides to call Maria and finds out that they had broken up. She then tries to get closer to Joana, as she sees her becoming increasingly lifeless, absorbed by the screen. Joana and Maria are involved and in love at the ice cream shop. Joana feels no fear and allows herself to experience life with someone, vulnerable and fully open. Until she blacks out, fainting while using her virtual reality glasses. She admits to Ana that she created a program based on her memories with Maria. In their virtual farewells, even though it is a fragmented version, Maria says what Joana needs to hear. Finally, Joana decides to delete the program, even though a part of herself still lives inside it.
