While the four stories appear to be separated, the chronology of the events are: a) Story 3 (In the Middle). One of the teenagers' name is Ter. b) Story 4 (Last Flight). Ter is mentioned as the brother of Pim's colleague and fellow stewardess, Tui (not seen in film) who could not accompany the flight as her brother had drowned. c) Story 1 (Happiness). The girl with the broken leg is seen reading the online news about the Princess's son's death. The princess was there for the funeral. d) Story 2 (Tit for Tat). The image of the curse is the image of the girl with the broken leg who had died with her eyes open.
