The music cue is also the same - the scene starts with no background music, just the beeps of machines, and then is subtly introduced and finally hits climax right after the delivery of "I love you."

Eh. I'm not sure about "Three Stories" because I haven't watched it in a while, but in "97 Seconds" the music is used as a transition between this one and the dramatically dying POTW. I'm not sure how we're supposed to read that.


But I seriously love this post for pointing out the eyebrow raise and the line delivery being the same in both cases. I never would have noticed that myself, and you are brilliant for spotting it.
