Her melancholic night is interrupted by Stella, an eager but ill-equipped stranger intent on helping Aidy. After Aidy refuses her help, Stella tries to leave, but then collapses from a seizure brought on by her brain cancer. Aidy helps Stella up and the two women sit together, able to connect over their shared grief.
