Steven,
Do they have a refrigerator in the next room?
In the pictures it looks like the line is on the supply
side of the faucet. If so, it looks like it could be a
water feed tube for a ice maker or in door water supply.
If it is connected to the drain, it could be the drain
for a dishwasher or something.
