Despite having sex with Camilla, Envy finds he continues to desire her. When Camilla asks whether he would like to renegotiate his one-night-only rule, however, he declines so strongly that he insults her. They travel to the House of Wrath, where he goads Wrath to stock up on his sin by pretending to flirt with his wife, Emilia. 

Envy then asks for access to the Twin Pillars beneath House Wrath, which Wrath immediately denies. Envy calls upon Emilia for a favor to gain access. While they wait for Wrath to agree, Camilla tries to have sex with Envy again. He resists only because Emilia arrives and grants them passage. Wrath, however, makes it conditional: Envy and Camilla must go through the Crescent Shallows, a spring whose water was magicked to force people to speak the truth. 

Before they leave, Emilia hands him a vial for Abyssus, the creature guarding the Twin Pillars. Envy and Camilla make their way to the Shallows and disrobe before entering. Affected by the water, Camilla leads Envy into a dance and asks a series of questions. Envy is forced to admit that he still wants her, and his court is in peril.
