Kelly erupts in anger at Yorkie, explaining the deep history of her forty-nine-year marriage and the loss of her daughter. She confronts Yorkie's naive view of an eternal digital afterlife, revealing the painful sacrifice her husband made by choosing to die naturally rather than 'pass over' without their child.
KELLY: Forty nine years. I was with him for forty nine years. You can't begin to imagine -- you can't know -- The bond. The commitment. The boredom. The yearning. The laughter. The love of it. The fucking love. You just cannot know. Everything we sacrificed. The years I gave him, the years he gave me. Did you think to ask? Did it occur to you to ask?
YORKIE: I didn't know--
KELLY: Didn't think to. Y'know when he was dying Rich said to me -- when they offered him this, to pass over, pass through, serve eternity in this fucking graveyard you're so in love with -- he said how can I? When she missed out, how can I? And so he went.
