The premise.

• Selene dies at 11:52pm and returns to 6:00am the same day, once, with no further resets.
• The poison is in a glass her husband Dario hands her at the toast. She knows the exact minute.
• Dario needs her signature on a share transfer before midnight. The murder is the contingency plan.
• Selene does not prevent the party. She attends it, changes four small things, and lets the day run.
• Everyone who helped him is in the room, and she now knows every one of their faces.

Main characters.

• Selene Marchetti — F, 36, hotel group heiress. Ran the family group for eleven years and let her husband take public credit because it kept the board comfortable. Precise, unsentimental, capable of enormous patience. Death did not change her personality, it removed her last reason to be pleasant. Want: The company intact and Dario destroyed in the correct order. Need: To stop mistaking control for safety..
• Dario Ferrant — M, 41, her husband. Married in and made himself indispensable through charm and genuine competence. Not stupid, not a brute. Kills her because it is the efficient option and he has already justified it to himself. Want: Control of the group before the quarterly filing. Need: Nothing. He is not on a redemption arc..
• Ines Marchetti — F, 24, Selene’s half sister. Assumed by everyone to be Dario’s accomplice. In the first life she was, in a small way, and did not know what she was helping with. Selene has to decide whether knowledge of a future crime is the same as guilt. Want: To be taken seriously by a sister who never has. Need: To find out what she is actually capable of..
• Kenji Aoki — M, 49, group counsel. Has worked for the family for twenty years and is the only person who notices Selene is different at 6:04am. Does not ask why. Simply reallocates his loyalty and becomes the plan’s quiet instrument. Want: To keep the family from destroying itself. Need: To admit he chose a side years ago..
• Beatriz Sol — F, 38, board member and Dario’s ally. Sold her vote in the first life. Selene’s most useful target, because turning her costs Dario the filing. Want: Liquidity and a seat that survives the transition. Need: To pick correctly..
