Grace sits in a wooden hut brushing her doll's hair and whispering a lullaby. The Widower writes a letter to Grace's mother explaining she has Grace and detailing rules to get her back within 24 hours. Grace becomes frustrated brushing the doll's hair and aggressively says the lullaby before dropping the doll. She then draws a picture of her family. The Widower delivers the letter and leaves it at Grace's mother's door before walking away. Grace's mother reads the letter with an anxious look and crumples it before slamming the door. The Widower enters the hut and Grace obeys her, taking her hand as they walk out together.
