That night, Rebecca is awoken by the same shadowed woman that killed Paul. Questioning her mother's sanity, Rebecca takes Martin to her apartment, much to Sophie's despair. Sophie tells Rebecca she has no right to lecture her since she also abandoned her like Rebecca's father. Once they arrive at Martin's house, Rebecca gets into an argument with Sophie when she realizes her mother is not taking her medication. Rebecca assures him that Diana is not real, and that she had also heard their mother talk to the imaginary girl when she was a child. Martin tells his sister that their mother has been talking to a woman named "Diana". A Child Protective Services agent questions Rebecca about Martin's living conditions, and Rebecca tells the official that Sophie is taking antidepressants. The nurse is unable to get in touch with Sophie to inform her of this, so Paul's stepdaughter (Martin's older half-sibling) Rebecca is called into the school nurse's office instead. Shortly thereafter Martin begins to have trouble staying awake at school. Sophie notices Martin and comforts him about the event, but as Martin goes back to bed he notices a strange figure in the shadow behind Sophie, and locks himself in his bedroom out of fear.
Some time later Paul's son, Martin, witnesses his mother, Sophie, talking to something in the dark. As he tries to run away, he locks himself into an office, but then is killed after the light goes off. After she leaves, her boss Paul encounters the woman as well. In a textile factory during closing hours, after an employee named Esther says goodbye to her boss Paul, she encounters a silhouette of a strange woman with claw-like hands when the lights are off, but she cannot see it when the lights are on.
