yeah. i think… i think Lowri is Ada's daughter. like, her actual daughter. and R — R is the mum. they lived on a farm somewhere. and Ada visited every winter for… Maya, for twenty years. she never told us.
a daughter.
ada had a daughter and we did not know.
i know.
are you ok?
no
where is the farm?
wales. i think. ada always said she went to walk in the hills.
she did go to the hills. every december.
i thought she just liked to be alone.
she was not alone.
A few minutes pass. Finn finds something else on Ada's phone. He goes quiet. Then he types.
maya. ada kept photos.
in her camera roll. lots of photos.
of the farm?
of the farm. of the fields. of a woman.
and of a girl.
send me one.
are you sure?
finn. send me one.
Finn opens Ada's camera roll. He finds a photo from December, two years ago. He forwards it to Maya.

Maya sees the photo. She does not type for a long time. The bakery oven makes a sound. She does not move.
maya?
are you there?
she has ada's eyes.
finn. she has ada's exact eyes.
i know.
we have to find her.
i think she is still at the farm.
does she know about us?
does lowri know ada is gone?
…i don't know.
ok. ok. I need to close the oven and sit down for a second. Don't delete anything, Finn. Do not delete one single thing on that phone. We are going to find her. Her name is Lowri and she is Ada's daughter and we are going to find her.
i won't delete anything.
ada never did.
