The hallucination points out the futility of his battle, demanding that Cillian not to give up and fight back, since Cillian lost Lilly after the murder. Lorcan refuses, believing his attacker is nothing but "nuts and bolts", and that he's always found a way to overcome the odds no matter what Cortana has sent to kill him; moreover, Lorcan himself hasn't been seen since he fought Prince Blueblood for one last time. The hallucination, expressing his desire for closure, ask Cillian to see a temple; through a crack in the metal, Cillian sees the horseback figure haunting his visions, as well as a temple-like structure in the distance.

Before she can do so, however, Cillian smells a beautiful flower before giving it to her. As he gives the flower to her, Carrie drops her sickle after remembering her mother's words, faced with the reality that Cillian may not be truly evil after all as she was indoctrinated into believing.
