Lute angrily walks over to Adam's office, clawing at the nameplate. She entered the crashed office, grabbed a random rock, and threw it at a guitar display. She is breathing heavily. Lute walks over to the desk to calm down. Abel then comes inside. "Hey, Miss Lute. Can I call you that? Sorry to, uh, interrupt your, uh, freaky in the dark time. I was hoping to maybe get one of my dad's old guitars, you know? To remember him by." He then flies over to a guitar display.

"Get out." Lute ordered. "Sorry?" Abel asked as he held the guitar. Lute takes it from him. "Get out!" She then swings it at him to chase Abel away. He quickly flies back to the door. "Whoa! Y-yes. Uh, I'm leaving. Sorry. I'm leaving. I'm out." And he quickly shuts the door.

"You know, I never liked that kid." The Adam Hallucination appeared behind Lute. "He's weak." She growled. "Major pussy." The Adam Hallucination then looks towards the audience. "Not the good kind."

"And now, I have to answer to him. He's nothing like you." Lute smashed the guitar against the wall.

"Ouch. Yeah, that fucking sucks." The Adam Hallucination.

Lute then gently held the guitar strings. "I never got to tell you that—"

The Adam Hallucination scoffs. "You think I didn't already know?"

"Did you?"

"No fucking idea. If you don't know, I don't know, babe."

The Adam Hallucination then walks around Lute. "So... what you gonna do about it?" He asked with a smirk. Lute slowly raised her head. "I'm going to kill every last one of them."

With her anger and pain, Lute begins to sing about her revenge on Charlie and the rest of the sinners.

(Sanctus)
Lute: Does no one know
Who they're dealing with?
Think I'll let it go
Forget and forgive
(Dominus)

Lute sings how no one in heaven knows about the dangers of hell and what they hold. And she would never forgive them for what they did.

Lute: The rage in me
Adam: (Yeah!)
Lute: Is terminal
Adam: (Yeah!)
Lute: There's no remedy
Adam: (Yeah!)
Lute: But to
Lute and Adam: Burn 'em all!
(Ignis)

As she continues to sing, the hallucination of Adam joins in her singing.

Lute: I still got a job to do, my mission's incomplete
Only a traitor could consider making peace
(Vindictis)
Lute and Adam: The Princess has to pay
For what she did that day
Lute: For what she took away

Lute pounds her fists on the walls. She and Adam hallucinate singing together. She looks up sadly as the hallucination disappears.

Lute and Adam: Storm's coming, I can see the clouds
No running's gonna save you now
And hard rain is gonna fall down
Like gravity, like gravity

Lute stomps her foot as papers fly around her. Then she and the Adam hallucination sang together. About taking revenge on all of hell

Lute: Eye for an eye says you owe me a debt
Blood demands blood, gonna get my hands wet
Lute and Adam: The flood's coming now, you can bet on tragedy
Like gravity

Lute flies over to the wall and begins to destroy the records. The shards fall to the floor as she flies down and takes one. She slams her fist to the wall one more time as the last of the records are destroyed.
