Meeting Victor: At the University, Nora worked extremely hard, having chosen the cryogenics department, and decided to take on a small job as a part-time librarian, and participated in ice-skating competitions and theatre productions, which not only helped her to start enjoying life again, but also earned her some amounts of money, which proved to be very useful. However, there was no-one whom she was close to, and she longed to have a bond similar to the one that she had with her father, since she was "his little girl", even after Dora was born. Two years after she entered the campus, Victor Fries, another brilliant student had arrived. She could sense that he was not like the other students and attempted to talk to him, and whilst he did open up bit by bit, what truly started their bond was when she had taken a hit from a bully that was meant for Victor which fractured her jaw. Victor and Nora grew closer to each other, and started to grow attached to each other, and eventually fell in love with each other. On year after they met, they were engaged, and one year after they received their doctorates they married on Christmas Eve, because Nora absolutely adored snow. Then, they both took on jobs at GothCorp and worked together on many projects. Nora had never been happier during this time, and all the gaps that were there had now finally been filled.
Falling Apart: After 8 years, however, Nora fell ill with an inoperable illness called Schivell's Disease which would cause the spinal cord tissue to literally deteriorate and die. Victor was completely devastated by this and decided to use the CC-100, a cryotube that he and Nora had just finished building, to preserve her until he could cure her. During her time in suspended animation, Nora realised she could see what was in front of her but it was more like a dream of a hallucination. Nora carried on, fully determined to live. When she finally awoke, though, not a single soul was there. Knowing in an unusual way what happened to Victor, she set out to find him when she was in full health again.
