In hospital, Ven discovers that she has a medical condition one that threatens to ruin everything. No more dancing . . . walking is challenging enough. But she doesn't want your pity. Ven is determined

trying to reconcile themselves with their journey through life and death

or about the woman who will help him try to set things right
