Blackwell disappears, leaving Ophelia to go to the dining room alone. The rest of her group is present, and after a confrontation with Cade and his friend Beau, Cade slaps her across the face. She bleeds red, proving she’s neither a Devil nor a Demon. Still, Cade and Beau want her dead. A new Devil, Drima, arrives and leads the group to the portal into the Lust level. A man makes a lewd comment at her, and Drima takes away his mouth, which terrifies him. Drima gives the group their clues:

In a realm of desire, illusions enthrall, contestants beware, lest you succumb to their call. Amongst the lustful vices, you must pick only one, when the first bell tolls the trial has begun. Before the fourth chime, the truth you must find, and the key to your freedom, beneath a bed lies (144).

Drima begins calling names to enter the portal, including Edna, the sister of the man who made the lewd comment. She leaves him behind, stating that she must carry on for Michael, and enters the portal.

When Ophelia enters the portal, she finds herself in a richly decorated room full of various beings performing sexual acts. An apparition appears and makes her choose a drink from a variety of colored beverages.
