In the room, Sam finds solace in talking to her nine-year-old sister through a latch built into the bottom of the room's door.

Meanwhile, the voice gives her instructions to take white pills that put her to sleep. Sam slowly pieces together fragmented memories she has from her past, and begins to understand why she stays locked in this room, for what lies inside of her cannot be let free.
