Lita struggles to hold on to consiousness, but with each blast from her tormentor's wand it becomes harder. Suddenly he lowers his wand. She watches in growing horror as he approachs and kneals next to her. This is it . . . he's had his fun, and now he'll end it . . . I can barely feel anything. At least it won't hurt. To Lita's surprise, the stranger strokes her forehead and talks to her in a soothing voice. Are you tired? Do you want this to stop? You can make it stop. All you have to do is give me the necklace. Give me Viola's Tear and you won't have to hurt anymore. Just take it off, put it in my hand and say out loud that you give it to me, of your own free will. And if you do that, I'll send you right back to your party. The night is young, you can still have a good time with your friends. Lita looks at him, resolve forming in her eyes. No, you'll have to kill me. I won't give it away. He grabs her head and slams it to the ground. I WOULD kill you, but it's not that simple! If I kill you, the jem would be lost to me. So you see, I just have to convince you to change your mind. Luckily for you, I'm a patient man, and creative. I'm sure I can get you to see things my way.
