Alison tries to work out what she wants and tries to prevent her from taking Robert into the next life, even offering herself as a sacrifice to save Robert's life. The next day Alison visits Robert in intensive care. In the same room, Robert, as a spirit, stands next to her and asks her help, because he is scared of dying. He explains that everything he loves is where he lives. At first, she tells him that she cannot help him, because she does not want him to die. Robert asks her questions about his body and what will happen after he dies. Alison explains that Robert is out of his own body and is now free, and Robert feels better. The night-nurse reappears, and Robert dies. After Alison walks out of the intensive care unit, she sees Robert walking down the same corridor, ahead of her, towards light. Alison sees Robert reuniting with his dead son; after they embrace, they walk into the light together. | |||
