The Lux restaurant is closed, but Remiel comes looking for the owner, the pianist. The owner is Lucifer, who has abandoned Hell, and Remiel is now in charge, along with a second angel, Duma, who doesn't speak. The angels are trying to make Hell a place of redemption. Lucifer implies that Remiel wants him to come back to Hell, so Remiel can return to heaven, and Lucifer laughs at Remiel's suggestion that he might return.
