"The Revenge of Leah" opens with the narrator lamenting that he cannot find a room at the hotel where he is staying. He has been forced to stay in the company of a boy who is his friend. The boy, who is dressed as a man, asks the narrator to stay with him in his room, but the narrator refuses, saying that he is not a human and that he does not share Leah's "family" or "personality." Leah, however, does share the narrator's fear of the devil, who he has seen wearing a hood on the day his mother died. The narrator explains that the devil was wearing the hood the day her mother died, and he could not see his face. Leah asks the boy if he has ever seen the devil's face before, and the boy replies that he has, and that after seeing the face, he never forgets.
