A purple bar indicates a scene change. An older Anael lays dying in a wooden frame bed. Carys sits by her side, holding her hand. A candle illuminates the room on a bedside table that also holds a water basin and a cup. Carys is crying, wrapped in a shawl, both of their hair greying. CARYS: "Don't leave me! I cannot bear to live without you! Please... After all it took for you to join me here..." ANAEL: "One separation is not forever. My Carys... I know a way to bring us together again in the next lifetime." CARYS: "What?" Anael traces the back of Carys' hand with her bony finger. ANAEL: "The only pact that can be forged between humans: Anael's Mark." A purple bar indicates a scene change. Ciara and Mallory sit on the porch swing of a lavender bungalow overlooking the ocean at sunset. Ciara wears a white 1920's day dress, and Mallory wears a brown tweed suit and green necktie. CIARA: "We can do it again, you know. Anael's mark." MALLORY: "I hadn't thought of that... I was enjoying this lifetime with you so much I hadn't considered the next."
