At Sempere & Sons, David tells the younger Sempere that Isabella is a good Christian who secretly loves him, even though neither of these things is true.

At the tower house, David lies and tells Isabella the younger Sempere is in love with her. Although she doesn't feel the same way, David tells Isabella to give him a chance in case he asks her on a date.

David tracks down a conjuring shop that belongs to Damián Roures, one of the spirtualists who conducted seances with Irene and Jaco. Roures dismisses Salvador's theories as preposterous. When David accuses Roures of taking advantage of a grieving man through phony seances, Roures denies doing so. He claims that once Marlasca started losing his mind, Roures admitted to him that the seances were nothing more than mumbo jumbo and refused to continue conducting them for him.

Roures adds that Marlasca believed a spirit or parasite had infected him. With Roures refusing to fuel his occult illusions further, Irene took Marlasca to a woman known as the Witch of Somorrostro to help protect him from someone, possibly Corelli.

Finally, David asks Roures what he knows about the phrase Lux Aeterna.
