Blade Runner 2049 (Joi "syncs" with a human woman)

Brief description

1.22.55 -  Joi invites a woman she saw K liked to give him what she as a hologram cannot. Joi and Mariette then sort of "melt" together, or Joi "syncs" with her, so that K can make love to them. The scene is very emotional, sad in a way. She wants to be real for him. And then afterwards, the viewer sees a big holographic commercial of Joi, "Joi is everything you want her to be", bringing into question the truthfulness of her emotions and their love.

Notes
At 53.05, Joi kind of "merges" with K while he's looking at some DNA crystals, and they talk, but that scene doesn't seem as important, since there's no attempt at syncing or pretending, just a sort of "ghost-like" phasing.
Adjusted some of the verbs between the AI and Joi's character and added Overlaying because the hologram projection seams to overlay, give a new skin to Mariette.
