Short filmTranscript
00:05Don't be afraid. You'll be cured soon. I swear.
00:11Selena? What are you zoning out for? It's time to board. Let's go check in.
00:16My boyfriend, Dylan Miller, waved our two boarding passes at me with a warm smile.
00:22Looking at his gentle face, my whole body trembled as I realized I had been given a second chance.
00:27I am 27. Dylan and I had been together for three years.
00:32I decided to take him home to Ohio for Christmas to meet my parents.
00:36But I never expected that decision would make him disappear and cost me my life.
00:42Thinking back to my past life, I was still completely confused.
00:47I couldn't figure out how a living, breathing person like Dylan could just vanish from a plane mid-flight.
00:53Why did the flight attendants and passengers who clearly saw us board together all insist they had never seen Dylan
01:00before?
01:01Why did my parents, who knew I had been dating Dylan for three years, say I never had a boyfriend?
01:08Selena, you look terrible. Are you feeling okay?
01:12Dylan looked at me with concern. My heart ached. Three years together, and he had always been good to me.
01:19He knew I had a bad stomach, so he, someone who had never cooked before,
01:25specifically learned how to make me breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day without fail.
01:31A thousand days and nights, and he never once raised his voice at me.
01:35So in my past life, when he vanished, I was desperate to find him.
01:41Even now, I still don't understand what really happened back then.
01:45But this time around, I was not about to make the same mistakes.
01:48I looked at Dylan, a little shaken.
01:51Maybe we shouldn't take this flight.
01:54We could change our tickets or take Amtrak instead.
01:59Dylan paused, then smiled indulgently.
02:02What are you talking about? It's Christmas break. There are no tickets left.
02:07We spent three days grabbing these seats. If we cancel, we won't make it home.
02:12He was right. Changing plans wasn't realistic.
02:16But thinking about how Dylan and I ended up dead and missing because of this flight in my past life
02:21made my heart race.
02:23What was I supposed to do? Was there really no other way?
02:27No. In my past life, I got sent to a psychiatric hospital because no one could prove Dylan had ever
02:32been on that plane.
02:34So this time, all I had to do was leave proof that he boarded with me.
02:38I pulled out my phone, hooked my arm through Dylan's, as we checked in, and started taking pictures like crazy.
02:47From check.
02:48Into boarding to sitting down in our seats to the cabin door closing, I documented everything.
02:53Then I posted a set of nine photos on Instagram.
02:57Boarded the plane.
02:58Bringing my boyfriend home for Christmas.
03:01The post immediately got a flood of likes and comments.
03:04So sweet. Wishing you two all the best.
03:08Wow.
03:10Finally meeting the parents.
03:11Congrats.
03:13Safe travels.
03:14Can't wait to hear about the engagement.
03:17To be extra safe, I took a picture with Dylan holding our boarding passes and sent it to our family
03:22group chat.
03:24Mom, Dad.
03:26Dylan and I are on the plane.
03:28We'll be on the ground in three hours.
03:31My mom replied instantly.
03:33Finally getting to meet our future son.
03:36Law.
03:37Your father and I already bought groceries.
03:40Can't wait to see you both.
03:43Your father and I already bought groceries.
03:46Can't wait to see you both.
03:49After takeoff, the flight attendants asked everyone to switch their phones to airplane mode.
03:54Then they started handing out drinks.
03:57When they got to my row, flight attendant Grace, just like in my past life, got bumped by another passenger
04:03and accidentally spilled some orange juice on me.
04:06Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
04:09Grace was apologizing profusely and reaching for napkins to clean me up.
04:13But Dylan beat her to it, gently dabbing at my shirt.
04:17It's okay.
04:18I've got my girlfriend.
04:21Grace thanked him politely and gave me an envious smile.
04:24Your boyfriend is so sweet.
04:26I locked my eyes on Grace.
04:28In my past life, she had also complimented my boyfriend.
04:32But when Dylan disappeared, and I asked if she'd seen him, she just looked confused and said,
04:38Ma'am, you must be mistaken.
04:40I only saw you bored alone.
04:46Ma'am, you must be mistaken.
04:48I only saw you bored alone.
04:52To make sure Grace didn't change her story again, I grabbed her hand and smiled.
04:57Would you mind doing me a favor?
04:59Grace looked at me, puzzled.
05:01What favor?
05:02I pulled out my phone and spoke seriously.
05:05Today's the day I'm bringing my boyfriend home to meet my parents for the first time.
05:08I really want to document this trip.
05:10Would you take a picture with us?
05:12Kind of like a keepsake?
05:13Of course.
05:14Grace nodded without hesitation.
05:17Dylan Grace and I took a photo together.
05:20I saved it carefully, then turned to look at an elderly man named Walter Kim in the aisle seat.
05:26He was nearly 70.
05:28His seat was closest to ours.
05:31In my past life, he almost fell while struggling with his luggage,
05:36and Dylan had caught him and helped stow his bag.
05:40The man had felt him repeatedly, so when I went around asking passengers if they'd seen Dylan,
05:45he was the first person I'd asked.
05:48And he'd said with complete certainty that the seat next to mine had been empty the whole time.
05:53No one had ever sat there.
05:57To make sure he remembered Dylan, I gently tapped Walter on the shoulder.
06:03Excuse me, sir, Walter looked at me.
06:06Yes?
06:07I pretended to be nervous as I pointed at Dylan in the seat beside me.
06:11What do you think of my boyfriend?
06:13My parents haven't met him yet, and I'm kind of nervous.
06:18Walter took a good look at Dylan and nodded approvingly.
06:20Good-looking young man.
06:22You two look great together.
06:25Your parents will be happy.
06:26I thanked him and fell into thought.
06:29Walter and Grace had both acted completely naturally.
06:33Nothing in their voices or expressions suggested they were hiding anything.
06:36So what was the problem?
06:38Why had they both seen Dylan in my past life,
06:41and then later sworn they'd never laid eyes on him?
06:44To maximize Dylan's presence, I stood up and pulled him with me.
06:48Then, while he looked at me in confusion, I raised my voice to address the whole cabin.
06:54Sorry to interrupt, everyone.
06:56Just for a minute.
06:59To maximize Dylan's presence, I stood up and pulled him with me.
07:03Then, while he looked at me in confusion, I raised my voice to address the whole cabin.
07:10sorry to interrupt everyone just for a minute today's a big day i'm bringing my boyfriend home
07:16to meet my parents for the first time we've been together for three years and after this trip
07:22we're planning to get engaged there's something special about sharing a flight with all of you
07:27at 30 000 feet so if you wouldn't mind i'd love to get some well wishes from everyone
07:31every passenger on the plane turned to look at us my request was met with applause and cheerful
07:37blessings congratulations wishing you a lifetime of happiness you two are adorable all the best
07:44here's to many years together dylan was beaming his cheeks flushed as he thanked everyone
07:49then he quickly pulled me back down into my seat selena what's gotten into you today being so extra
07:55you're making me blush i grabbed his hand tight and said i'm just terrified of losing you
08:00now everyone on this plane had seen us there was no way anything could go wrong
08:10dylan gently stroked my hair silly girl how could i ever lose you when i love you so much
08:19are you just nervous about me meeting your parents he reached into his bag and pulled
08:24out my favorite bananas to calm me down he carefully peeled one making sure to strip off
08:29the white strings and held it to my mouth it's not what we're thinking it's something we still
08:35have over an hour before we land i looked at the banana he was offering and hesitated in my past
08:41life this was the moment i'd gotten up to use the bathroom when i came back dylan was gone

18:18wayne's eyes sharpened
18:20what are you talking about

18:24wayne frowned

18:55everyone is trying to get home

19:00okay
19:00accept reality
19:01what reality
19:02that everyone was lying
19:03that my photos had disappeared
19:05that dylan had vanished into thin air
19:08no
19:13the reality
19:14was that i had taken pictures
19:15the reality was that i had posted on instagram
19:18the reality was that my parents and friends had responded
19:21the reality was that dylan and i had been together for three years
19:24the reality was that he boarded this plane with me
19:27the reality was that he disappeared right in front of me
19:30i accepted that reality
19:31and that was why i needed to expose the truth
19:33i took a deep breath
19:35let me tell you a story
19:36wayne looked taken aback
19:37are you serious
19:38we're all in a hurry here
19:39i don't want to hear a crazy person's story
19:41get her to a hospital already
19:44walter turned to wayne practically begging
19:48sergeant please just take her away
19:50my patient is waiting for surgery
19:51she's already delayed this flight enough
19:53i smiled at the sight of walter's frantic face
19:56i knew why he was in such a rush
19:58just a few minutes
20:00if after that you still want to commit me
20:02i'll go without a fight
20:08if after that you still want to commit me
20:10i'll go without a fight
20:13wayne studied me for a long moment
20:15then he nodded
20:16go ahead
20:17i let out a breath of relief
20:19then i turned to the window
20:21watching the sky darken outside
20:23as my mind went back three years
20:25when i stepped out
20:26there was a massive storm
20:28i couldn't get a cab
20:29my umbrella was broken
20:31i was huddled under the awning outside my office
20:34waiting for the rain to let up
20:36i was cold and hungry and miserable
20:40then dylan showed up
20:41he was holding this big black umbrella
20:43when he saw me
20:45he stopped
20:46i thought he'd walk right past like everyone else
20:48but he didn't
20:49he walked up to me and asked if i needed an umbrella
20:52but i didn't like talking to strangers back then
20:55so i just turned away and ignored him
20:57he just smiled
20:58he didn't push it
20:59it's pouring
21:00don't catch a cold
21:01then he ran off into the rain
21:03i kept that umbrella
21:04later i found out he got a high fever the next day from running home in the storm
21:09we ran into each other again at a work project
21:12he was the technical support from the client side
21:14really sharp
21:15very professional
21:16nothing like the guy who'd seemed a little silly running off in the rain
21:20when the project wrapped
21:21he asked me out to celebrate
21:23that is how it started
21:25i kept talking
21:26pulling out more details
21:31i kept talking
21:32pulling out more details
21:33my stomach is a mess
21:36if i eat the wrong thing i'm in pain
21:38he found out
21:39and this guy who had never boiled water in his life
21:42bought a stack of cookbooks and taught himself to cook from youtube
21:45the first meal he made me was a disaster
21:47too much salt
21:48pasta was mush
21:49the steak splattered oil everywhere
21:51and he burned his hand
21:52but he wasn't upset about his hand
21:54he was upset that i might go hungry
21:56eventually
21:57he got good
21:58really good
21:59the past three years
22:00if he was around
22:01he made every meal
22:02breakfast
22:03lunch
22:04dinner
22:04no excuses
22:05when work
22:07got stressful
22:08i'd lose sleep
22:09and get irritable
22:10he'd stay up with me
22:12listen to me complain
22:13rub my shoulders
22:14walk me through work problems
22:16step by step until they were solved
22:18sometimes i'd apologize for being a handful
22:21i like that you're a handful
22:22it makes me feel like i'm actually useful as your boyfriend
22:26he said my problems were his problems
22:28my happiness was his happiness
22:31when i smiled that was all he needed
22:40he remembered everything i liked and didn't like
22:48i only drink black coffee with a splash of oat milk
22:51he'd order it for me anywhere we went
22:53i hate onions and broccoli
22:55he made sure neither ever showed up on my plate
22:58whether we were eating at home or out
23:00in the winter
23:01my hands and feet get cold
23:03he'd have hand warmers in a hot water bottle ready before i even asked
23:07i mentioned once that i loved a certain author
23:09on my next birthday
23:11he gave me the complete collector's set
23:14one night i got acute food poisoning
23:16i was in so much pain
23:19he carried me down the stairs
23:21and ran to the hospital in the freezing cold
23:23wearing nothing but thin pajamas
23:25i recovered
23:27his legs got frostbite
23:30we fought sometimes
23:31it didn't matter who was wrong
23:33he always apologized first
23:35he said he cared more about not losing me than about being right
23:40he was shy around people he didn't know
23:44it took him a long time to work up the courage to meet my parents
23:47for a whole month before this trip
23:49he practiced what he was going to say to them over and over
23:52he wanted to make the best impression so they'd feel good about giving me to him
23:56i spoke slowly carefully
23:58every detail was vivid and real
24:00wayne was looking at me differently now
24:02i looked at the peeled banana on my tray table
24:04i love bananas
24:06so whenever we traveled he'd bring some
24:08he'd peel them carefully pick off the white strings and hand them to me
24:11he did that on this flight
24:13but now he's gone
24:14and this banana is still here

24:26do you really believe all of this is in my head?
24:29all these details?
24:30all these memories?
24:31am i really capable of making something like that up?
24:34cabin fell quiet
24:35after a few seconds
24:36the officers behind wayne murmured to each other
24:38she doesn't seem like she's making this up
24:40those details sound real
24:41the way she talks about him
24:43that's not someone imagining things
24:44but if she's telling the truth where is he?
24:47he can't have just vanished
24:48we searched the whole plane
24:49the passengers though were unmoved
24:51i sat behind her the whole flight
24:53i never saw anyone in the seat next to her
24:55selena i believe that you believe what you're saying
24:57but i deal in evidence
24:58and right now all the evidence says dylan miller was never on this flight
25:01and he might not exist in your life at all
25:03your parents and friends have all said you're not seeing anyone
25:05and i checked
25:06they have no reason to lie
25:07he was right
25:08my parents only had me
25:09they'd raised me like i was the most precious thing in the world
25:12in my past life
25:14i couldn't understand why they'd deny knowing about dylan
25:17when they'd just seen his picture
25:18now it was happening again
25:25now it was happening again
25:28my parents had seen the picture i sent
25:30but they said i had no boyfriend
25:32my close friends had commented on my instagram post
25:36but they swore i was single
25:38my parents and my friends didn't know each other
25:40they couldn't have coordinated
25:42and my friends
25:43they'd known me for years
25:44they wouldn't lie to me
25:46known of it had made sense
25:47but now it did
25:49now i understood everything
