Determined to go through it alone, Lilja pushes Marcus away, but his persistent worry keeps him close. Throughout the day, they navigate ordinary moments - family dinner, a party Lilja defies him to attend, and a worry that results in a fight about giving space and listening. Beneath the surface lies an unresolved past crisis that still shapes them both. Marcus struggles to "fix" Lilja, while she rejects his interference and insists she's fine. Their tension erupts into an emotional confrontation, revealing raw truths, anger, and vulnerability. Only the next morning does Lilja open up about her pain and confusion - without regretting her decision - and in a quiet moment of shared understanding, they embrace, acknowledging that while they can't erase each other's pain, they can carry it together.
