This is the part that Lust hates the most, getting rid of her husband. It hurts her knowing every marriage has to come to an end. These past few weeks she’s kept herself ‘busy with work’ and avoiding her husband in general. He has started to age, badly, and he hates the fact that Lust hasn’t lost a smidgen of her good looks. Every day, Lust provokes an argument hoping her husband will finally be fed up enough to ask for a divorce. But he just fights back. Lust grows tired of trying to get him to file so she decides to do the filing herself. Her husband, completely defeated, signs the papers and moves out. Lust spirals into deep pain. She tries going out on the town for a few weeks, but it only increases her sense of loneliness. How she envies all the lovely loving couples she sees. Returning home one night she realizes it’s time. Time to find her next husband, a never-ending eternity.
