- "That confession, that person, that world—a future destination I didn't want to be a part of—was unfolding before me. I wasn't ready to accept everything that was being presented to me, especially who that person was, who kept replaying our conversation in my head while I ran through that garden without even looking at the flowers, just searching for a way out of that situation," Violet says in voiceover as she runs. Suddenly, she collides with a man nearby and falls to the ground from the impact.
- "I'm sorry," Violet says to the shadow in front of her.
- "No problem," the voice replies, causing Violet to lift her head and see a tall man with black hair and an alluring gaze, as if he could read your soul.
- "Yes, there is a problem since I bumped into you. That's why I apologize."
- "No, seriously, you don't have to apologize. Violet," he says while helping her up.
- "How do you know my name?" Violet asks in a demanding tone as she looks him up and down, trying to figure out if she knows him or not.
- "I was a friend of your parents, and I met you when you were just born."
- "Okay," she says, eyeing him suspiciously.
- "How do we know the devil?" James asks.
- "You saw him. Remember?"
- "We went to hell," Lily says, looking at her daughter, seeking answers as she wonders how it's possible that she went to hell.
- "That's impossible, Lily-Flor. We are good people. And from what you've told me about hell and heaven, good people go to heaven," James says, trying to reassure Lily.
- "You're right about that. But the problem is that you are witches and wizards. In heaven, we are not welcome because they believe we are sympathetic to Satan—or Lucifer, as you prefer to call him," Raven explains.
- "Yeah, my father is that simple," Lucifer replies.
- "Yes. But in heaven, there are also people who don't deserve to be there, like those who had slaves. But of course, if you're famous and have helped humanity, who cares if you've enslaved people who didn't deserve it just for being a different color or having less money than you?" Diana says indignantly.
- "How absurd is that pathetic god that these stupid humans worship? The gods of the past were better," Zeus says.
- "Oh, sure," Violet replies with irony. "Because back then, everyone who deserved something bad to happen to them got it, right? It wasn't the gods who decided their punishment." She looks at the different gods in the room, some of whom avoid her gaze.
- "Because all those who were punished deserved it," Athena says.
- "Are you sure that everyone you punished, cursed, or killed deserved it?" Violet asks, counting on her fingers.
