Then we see Rourke and Iris in a lab. Iris confirmed that the guests of the hotel had all been evacuated.

When she emerges, she stands before a cavern decorated with an elaborate dragon-head statue, commenting that at last she is very close to finding "The Fountain".
A moment later she notices the red figure, the Endless, appear and enter the cave. When inside there is a large corridor with lava and a narrow stone walkway in the center and twelve pedestals to the left and right of it. The Endless walks towards the end, through the lava but stops before the archway, greeting Yvonne with a digital voice despite not paying attention to her up until now. They encourage Yvonne to reveal herself, she answers by insisting that The Endless bring her to the Fountain that she seeks. She is told that she and the Catalysts need each other's help and tells her the way to them and disappears, leaving Yvonne with unanswered questions.
She then leaves the cave in a hurry. The second half takes place six months ago on the rooftop of the Celestial, right before everyone goes through the portal. The same scene occurs, yet we see Lila's thoughts. When you decide to use the portal gun, Lila thinks to herself, "The temporal perforator! I cant let [your name] use it! We'd lose six months!

We then see her writing down the clues for the password in the hotel lobby. She remarks to herself that she doesn't even know what the runes or the zodiac clues mean, and that she'll never find Rourke. IRIS appears, concerned about Lila's wellbeing. Lila says that she's lonely and that she misses someone and that she's jealous. IRIS does not comprehend. Lila goes to the grand atrium and asks Rourke's statue why he does not love her. Lila then appears in Rourke's office, and uses Aleister's hair to boot the system.
She types in "C C U P. Lila retrieves him and leads him into the grand atrium, dripping the green liquid you saw in the first chapter of the book. Rourke leads her to his lair and begins stuffing things into a duffle bag. Lila asks Rourke if he's leaving. Rourke turns to the crimson glove and tells her there's work to be done and that their mission is just beginning.
He takes a knife with a hilt of entwined snakes and starts to leave. Lila asks him what she should do. Rourke tells her she is to wait here; "Selected to return, of course. I'm counting on you. Time passes and we see Lila preparing. She sits in the ballroom, counting down time. She then goes to the rooftop and counts down the time until your arrival.
The group appears through the portal. When the group asks you about Diego, Lila stays silent. If you chose to retrieve Estela's idol, you will receive a vision of the past. Estela is in the Hartfeld library, sitting alone and reading. Aleister enters and asks if he can sit with her. She ignores him but he sits down anyway. Some sorority girls start talking about her behind her back, teasing her about being a transfer student and that her family is dead. They joke about how she might kill someone if she goes to an event. The sorority girls leave. Aleister tries to comfort Estela based on what just happened.
Estela tells Aleister she doesn't care about them. The two nod at each other in agreement. In the scene from the future, Lila lies dead in the Celestial's grand atrium. Estela stabbed her to death. She sadly says "It's over, Mom. Estela throws a spear at Rourke, which punctures him. She is shot from behind.
The Rourke she threw the spear at is a hologram, and the real Rourke is the one who shot her. The real Rourke then shoots her again two more times but to no avail. However, with her last strength, Estela tells Rourke she will kill him.
