[Once Ed gets a quiet moment to himself where he's in the frame of mind to check in with anyone, his first priority is Laica. He doesn't have much frame of reference for how long it's been, hours may have already passed. Not being in a position to help has never stopped him from trying before though, if she's not safe by now, he will.]

did you get out of there?

[ Laica is asleep when the text comes in. She's been home, bathed, had a cup of tea, and collapsed into bed, curled up with Boney, long enough to become disoriented and not know where she is when she finally wakes up again.

She stares at her phone, confused. It can't be from Ed. Ed went home or was redeemed or whatever. ]

Depends. Which "here" do you mean?

[ Maybe he was able to send word back from wherever he was sent next? ]

To Whom It May Concern,

You, my prized guest, have made it twelve months in your journey towards redemption. I know that there have been bumps along the way and we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I do wish to show my gratitude. Together, we will all leave Hell one day.

I have handpicked gifts specifically for you to commemorate this anniversary. I do hope you enjoy them.

A week at Lucifer's private island mansion, with all the luxuries one could want.

Two dresses in Laica's preferred style.

An opportunity to work with the guards to help strengthen any weak spots the Penance community may have.

Again, I thank you for all of your help in making Hell what it is today.

Yours,
Lucifer
