Where in Purgatory would you go after death?

For those who don't know, Purgatory is a location in the Divine Comedy, an epic poem written by Dante Aligieri. Purgatory is a holy Island where righteous people who struggled with certain sins go, before they enter Heaven. Basically, if you're here, you need to repent and be purged of your worst sins, but you WILL go to Heaven once you do. Purgatory is decided into several terraces where these punishments take place.

1. Pride. In this terrace, believers who were proud and boastful have boulders placed on their backs, forcing them to bow. Because they looked down on others, they can't look UP until they learn to be humble.

2. Envy. The people here were jealous of people for what they saw these people had. So they have their eyes sewn shut with iron wire, until they learn to be generous and kind.

3. Wrath. The souls here were blinded by anger and rage, so until they control it, they are blinded by an acrid smoke that surrounds them.

4. Sloth. Here, those who were lazy in life are forced to run around this terrace until they learn to be diligent and the importance of hard work.

5. Greed. Because the souls here focused too much on material goods, their punishment is... pretty bizarre. Here, souls are forced to lie facedown like Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and bound hand and foot until they learn the importance of charity.

6. Gluttony. In this terrace, those who operate or overdrank are tormented with intense hunger, made worse by the fact that they're surrounded with trees growing fruit that they can't reach. You most voluntarily choose not to eat to end your suffering here.

7. Lust. Those who burned with sexual desire are burned again--this time, by a wall of fire that they can't escape until they learn to keep it in their pants.
