In an extreme top-down close-up view, Matteo pulled back the edge of the central floorboard. The sound of wood creaking and snapping under his strength sent a chill down his spine. As the gap widened by a fraction of an inch, the ambient sunlight illuminated the dark void directly beneath the hardwood planks. There, wedged tightly in the dusty narrow gap, was a tiny, pale human finger reaching upward toward the light. Matteo let out a sharp intake of breath, his eyes widening in complete horror as he realized his daughter was not playing a game—someone was trapped in the subfloor foundation beneath their feet. Elena gasped loudly, covering her mouth as nearby household staff and guests pulled out their smartphones in utter shock, filming the horrifying scene as the reality of the situation set in.
