With Will back on his feet, Elin and Will wait for the funicular, ready to finally leave the mountain. They have stayed to be with Isaac, worried about him after the loss of Laure. The weather is clear, and the sky is blue, a contrast from the snowy weather they arrived to weeks earlier. Isaac waits with them. They invite Isaac to come back to the UK, but he decides he needs to stay and try to get back to a normal life. He feels awful for doubting Laure, revealing that he had been burning photos of her from his wallet when he thought she’d betrayed him. Elin assures him that the situation was abnormal, and his reaction was human. She reminds him that Laure disappeared on purpose, but he still feels guilty and wishes he would have done more to find her.
Elin invited him to come back to England with them, again, but Isaac politely declines, saying he’ll come to visit, instead. He acknowledges the way their relationship has grown, implying that he wants to stay close with her from then on.
They hug goodbye, and Elin fights tears, not wanting to leave him. Before he leaves, Isaac hands Elin a copy of a photograph of Sam, noting that Will told him she didn’t have one.
