That evening, Emma's father Daniel returned home and immediately noticed how frightened his daughter looked.
Daniel: Emma, what happened?
Emma: Dad, there's a little girl behind the kitchen wall.
Daniel thought she had misunderstood something, but he followed her downstairs.
When he opened the hidden compartment, he found a dusty box inside.
There was an old photograph on top.
Daniel picked it up.
Two little girls were standing together, each holding a teddy bear.
His face suddenly changed.
Daniel: Oh my God... what is this?
He recognized one of the girls immediately.
It was his daughter from years earlier, before she had mysteriously disappeared from the family's life.
Daniel turned toward Claire.
Daniel: You knew about this?
Claire said nothing.
Then Daniel heard movement behind the wall.
Daniel: Who is in there?
The little girl slowly stepped forward.
Daniel stared at her face.
For a moment, nobody moved.
She looked almost exactly like the child in the photograph.
Daniel: What is your name?
Girl: Lily.
Daniel's eyes filled with shock.
Daniel: Lily...?
