For Whom the Belle Tolls

After an idyllic morning with Bel and Sharkie, Lily reflects on how amazing her life is in the Afterlife and, more than ever, she is tempted to stay in the Afterlife for eternity. At the Hellp Desk that day, she encounters a mortal soul who manipulated, extorted, and was generally abusive to others. The soul attempts to emotionally manipulate Lily and, when confronted with her actions, blames the devil. Enraged, Lily threatens to bring the soul to Level Nine, and the soul leaves.

Lev appears then and asks for the report. Lily explains that her methods adapt to the soul before her and cannot be generalized. Lev then asks for a report on the nuances of mortal souls instead as preparatory material for her replacement. Before he leaves, he gives her the memo that bans fornication in the office, which Lily recognizes is his way of welcoming her as one of them.

Later, she receives a message from Bel telling her that war with the other Universe has been declared. He gives her directions to find him. When she does, he tells her he isn’t sure when he’ll be back, just as Lucifer brings Sharkie to say goodbye.
