But she fought against all odds and cracked the simulation. She also tried seeding doubts in Karolina’s mind about killing her parents to curb Karolina’s curiosity and rebellious spirit that proved fatal for a simulated reality. Understanding the fragility of the system, Piotr pressured Zofia to quickly transfer Julia’s talent to her son, Adam/Ksawery.ĭoctor Zofia sold a story to Julia/Karolina that her parents died in a fire accident. Thus, it crashed and overheated often due to the rebels of the simulation. These black boxes were operated by a mainframe computer in the basement that created a simulation facility named Second Chance to steal the patient’s talent and transfer it to the respective buyers.īut the mainframe wasn’t designed to handle the rebellious emotions, and violent behavior witnessed in Magda and Julia.

The black box fixated in each patient’s room, somehow, was virtually connected with their brains. What was the function of the mainframe hidden in the basement? Many others would have lost their abilities to rich kids in an elvish orchestrated simulation, and why? Because the rich could afford to buy and poor are always the ones who get oppressed? That’s the most realistic theme in the entire series, I guess. Through the program, Julia’s talent was transferred to Piotr’s son, Adam/Ksawery, and Magda’s talent was shifted to Tanatowski’s daughter, Anielin. Through a neuro-transmitting device, Zofia transferred the talents of patients into the kids of wealthy parents who bought it for money. It was the reason why Doctor Zofia consistently stressed upon discovering one’s skill in the simulation and instantly arranged concerts for Magda/Janina, Julia/Karolina, and Szymon.

Second Chance was a simulation program where the wealthy and affluent bought talents for their kids. But she was still not sure what was happening until she saw Adam (or real name Ksawery) in her music school. When Karolina saw Tanatowski’s daughter, Anielin, she instantly recognized her from her dream (in which she was named, “Aniela”). What was Second Chance doing with the patients? She also discovered that the part of the building was rented to a private nursery, Second Chance, that aimed to find talent in the child early and nurture it. Still, she met Tanatowski’s ex-wife, Edyta, who lived there with her daughter, Anielin. She was sure that it wasn’t just a dream.Īt Tanatowski’s residence, Karolina didn’t find any concrete evidence. On her journey towards the facility, Karoline witnessed the same petrol pump in her parallel world. In it, Karolina found out about the residence of Professor Tanatowski, which resembled the Second Chance clinic, in which Karolina was trapped. When Karolina tried to explore, without any ado, Janina handed her a book, “ Second Chance” by Zygmunt Tanatowski. Janina had arranged her comeback on stage, but when Karolina visited her rehearsal, Janina was struggling with her talent, just like Karolina. Like Karolina, Magda woke up from a coma a few days before, after a terrible skiing accident. Out of curiosity, Karolina visited opera singer Janina Hass, the woman she saw in a simulated reality. It seemed that someone had robbed her of her talent. However, her efforts didn’t hit the right note. It could be theorized that Karolina was swindling between two realms in her deep conscious sleep and thus perceived bits and pieces of both reality and simulation.Īfter Karolina was discharged from the hospital, she tried hard to play the piano as she used to before her accident. Patrycja played Karolina’s favorite classic, “ Clair de Lune” by Debussy, and read “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which were constant repetitions in Karolina’s simulated reality. It was for this reason that Karolina constantly heard Patrycja’s voice calling out for her. When Karolina came out of the coma, Patrycja underlined that she tried to talk her out of it, but it didn’t work. Patrycja was the red-haired girl whom Karolina often saw in her simulated reality or dream. While Karolina was in a coma, her younger sister, Patrycja, was by her side in the hospital.
