Content Warning: This section of the guide describes sexual content.

When Envy returns, he curtly asks Camilla about her parentage. He then brings her to the gates of the Underworld. They move through the void between the Seven Circles of Hell. Camilla passes through the Sin Corridor, where she is tested against all seven sins to see in which House she will best fit. However, Camilla is seemingly unaffected by any sin. Curious and left without answers, Envy leads her through the Corridor’s snowy landscape for hours, circumventing the creatures and monsters that occupy it. He eventually brings her to a small cabin to spend the night.

Part 2, Chapter 29 Summary

As they settle in the small cottage, Envy reflects on the growing enigma of Camilla. She inquires as to whether they will visit Envy’s court, but he will not allow it, despite wanting to know what she would think of his home. They share the only bed and discuss the game and how they might find the next clue in Sloth’s home. Their shared proximity and banter quickly heat the sexual tension between them. Camilla falls asleep. Believing she is being tested for lust by the Corridor as she writhes while sleeping, Envy watches, aroused.
