Athena didn't know what it was exactly as the sight, and the setting that she was in, were alien to her. The teen attempted to call out for help and was met with the sound of her echoing voice.
She had no clue how she got into this mysterious place. One minute, she was in her bedroom, and the next, she wasn't.
"Dad! Dad! Help me!" Athena tried to call out for her father, but was met with her echoing voice once again.

Some were filled, while others were just built. Movers brought in more boxes and places them down in the kitchen.
"Ah! There's my little ray of sunshine," Daniel smiled, finally acknowledging the presence of his daughter.
He paused the music he was played and went to hug her. After separating from her, he went to seal off one of the boxes.
