The promiscuous friend and her boyfriend believe that
the summoning and Ouija board are a waste of time and
have only taken part because they were forced to by the
rest of the friends. Their lustful relationship is deemed
as a moral sin which is later on to be punished by the
unknown force, resulting to their gory, bloody deaths.
Unlike the teenage couple, the other friends have
decided to come along to the summoning as they had
nothing else to do, and thought it would be a bit of fun.
Their immaturity and recklessness behaviour finally
results to their tortured and brutal deaths.
