The duchess says how happy she is to see Alice and they walk away holding hands. The duchess and Alice came back upon the queen and the queen stated one of their heads must be off, so the duchess walked away and let Alice and the queen finish croquet.The other guests took the queen’s absence for some time to sit in the shade. The queen took Alice to the Gryphon and he took her to see the mock turtle (what the soup is made from). Alice was told the mock turtles whole life story.

They start to play him clips of violence and gang rapes that start to make him feel sick to the stomach the more he watches them. They show him 5 clips in total, all very violent and torturing to Alex to watch as he gets weaker and sicker to the stomach the more they show it.
