F55A. Put it on a naked body (demon and woman) .37.46.

The demonic character wants a woman to expose a certain part of her body, because only there you should put some object. A demon kills a woman by ripping out this part of her body. Usually, a woman uses or names different loci, and the character consistently rejects each one until she gets to the right one.
