<span style="font-size: 20px">Explanation: <span class="spoiler-text">In ADPR05, the capitalized letters read "I can't say much, but I did leave something.

<h1>Summary of Receipt</h1>
<span style="font-size: 20px">Theo leaves a message mentioning that he wasn’t actually sent to investigate Satan’s release - that role fell to the Wandsuns. He actually came to warn them that the Court of Angels has become increasingly displeased with the CaD’s rather unorthodox methods of handling their issues. He also warns Manager 5 that keeping whatever he has in his basement is absolutely idiotic, and advises the CaD to stop causing issues and focus on managing the Cold Elders, paying back Bird and dealing with the Devil. Lastly, he tells Manager 7 and Manager 3 that they’re not in the clear either, since Manager 7’s ties that bind will likely result in her opening the Gates to Hell.</span>

Be not afraid.

Not that you had much to fear from me anyhow. I came here under… Well, false pretenses make it seem like I was trying to deceive you. I wasn’t. Though I also wasn’t sent to investigate your involvement in the release of Satan. No, that job was given to Adathan and Ariel. I suppose you would know them as the Wandsuns. I came here to warn you that there is tremendous discontent in the Courts, and the cause would seem to be your unique brand of coffee. Of course, the first strike against the Cafe and Diner can be attributed to Jericho’s foolish, though warranted in some eyes, destruction of the Akashic Records and First Bible. Then, of course, when it came to light how the Pocket Watch was used last time around, some of the Court took significant issue with that. Now, you are releasing Satan and keeping unspeakable entities in your basements. 

Hm. Well. I suppose the Courts only really know about the Satan thing. You are lucky they didn’t actually send me. It seems as if your best-kept secret is just common knowledge around the Palm Beach location. Jericho, what are you doing? I know you like to play with fire and hope you don’t get burned, but you are now toeing the line between striking another match and throwing an entire gas can on it. You are dangerously close to becoming the next Indrid Cold. Is that what you want? To serve the Wicked? I can not, and will not, help you in this situation you’ve found yourself in. I wouldn’t even know where to start. You can’t destroy it, and if you could, it would cause bedlam in the Courts. You can’t dispose of it in the Black Tide. Too risky, and if it is found, there would be bedlam in the Courts. You ABSOLUTELY cannot drink from it. There would not only be bedlam in the Courts, but you would be at the mercy of the Otherman. I doubt you want that. 

That… utter mess aside. Jackie and Julia, you are not in the clear either. It is not my place to say, but Julia’s ties that bind are all but destined to have her open the Gates to Hell. I realize you might not feel like you would, but this is Fate you are up against now, after all. And Fate is hard as hell to defy. Especially now that Satan is back in the picture. Not to mention doors are opening in more places than one. Debts are coming due, and your entire organization is riddled with Debts to Fate, Secret, Phantom, Wicked, and God. How you expect this to work out, I do not know. My best advice would be to stop rocking the damn boat before the Devil drags you, and everyone else, under. 

Be well. Stay in the light.
