After spending quality time with David, learning the gifts of the light, Ellie is assured of one thing, her heart might just break before it's all over. She can't seem to help herself from being drawn deeply in a web between him and the darkness. Her journey with Sandra to learn the gifts of the future is healing and gives her a sense of solidity, but the search for how Jacob might be involved in Equilibrium is her next great feat, one that won't be easy to accept. Having far exceeding anything they thought her capable of, Ellie works now to discern a foreign entity that seems to have slipped into her world alone. Who is he and why is he wearing David's face?
