A man confronts a woman he calls a heretic, who he has marked, and states her former city would no longer accept her. She retorts that his 'dirty tricks' drove her to this and calls him an abyssal monster, which he mocks by referencing their previous night together. Enraged, she demands he let her go and threatens to burn herself alive if he doesn't open the door. He dismisses the threat, asserting total control over her life and body, stating she cannot even die without his permission. He then declares that since her current cage is insufficient, he will move her to a more secure location.
