Goal is getting mortal souls out of hell. Guests come stay with us, we work on addressing their issues, extracting them from whatever fucked up mess they've gotten stuck in since they got to hell, still working on soul contracts and the gates of heaven and shit, but they've all made progress. Anyway, mandatory feelings sharing has... not been our most successful program.
Right, universe stuff. I've never actually been to wherever mortal humans live in my reality, so I don't know how it works for them? But in hell it's how overlords cement power. Protection deals, mostly, but they can get a lot weirder.
Mm, yes and no. Some of them, you take away their contracts, they wouldn't have a lot left. Some deal mostly fairly, not that they're safe, just, honest about how they'll fuck you. Some have spun the power from souls into all the other kinds of power that make hell the delightful place it is.

Enjoy you your work to such a degree that you would do it in two different places?
[Anyway.] "Soul contracts", ma'am?

Why, I would say I am intimately familiar with what a Soul Contract is. They have nothing to do with human souls in Hell.

May I assume Overlords to be a particularly powerful type of demon?

[Phrasing it as "your Hell" is probably something of a clue to what Sebastian himself is. It's not like he bothers to keep it a secret these days.]
