Part 7/9:
The climax of the film revolves around Ruby making critical decisions for her friends’ safety at the cost of her own happiness. After a fierce battle where Ruby takes drastic steps to save her friends from Clancy’s manipulation, she finds herself forced to make an unbearable choice: to erase herself from Liam’s memory so that he might walk free.
This sacrifice underlines a central theme of the film—the burden of power and the heat of love amid suffering. Ruby’s heartbreak signifies not just personal loss but the collective trauma of all the survivors.
