What we are actually watching is a person perform their own fragmentation. Ami is not having sex on that couch. She is servicing a severance package . Every touch is a line item in her exit negotiation. Every minute of screen time is a toll she pays to buy back her real name.
Will she succeed at a normal job, where no one recognizes her? Will she tell her future husband a partial truth? Will she flinch when a stranger touches her shoulder in a grocery store?
