Julian and his wife, Elise, are having dinner with Elise's three stepsisters, who are all unrelated but bonded orphans. Julian seizes the opportunity to introduce the curious women to a project he and Elise have been working on: a device to experience and share dreams together. While the women seem eager to try the device, Elise is a little unsure since it's still largely been untested. But Julian insists that they have to move forwards. That's when he offers three devices to the three women, who readily accept the gifts and scamper off to bed. Elise is NOT happy with Julian's bold move and they have a spat before Julian excuses himself. But the moment he's alone in his office, he produces a fourth device and grins to himself as he decides to get in on the shared experience the women are having.
