The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.

Home.
He tells the lawyer there are pictures of a grouchy fairy standing outside his home.

Yes, that too.
She puts together a case. The trial date arrives. The prosecution is lackluster; they usually don't have to work too hard to not dismiss daeva accused of murder. The defense is a rhetorical masterpiece leaning on the topical recent meeting of Elves ("As we meet more species do we want to show them xenophobic paranoia even to people who look so like us, who have such familiar needs as a chance to go home to their loved ones, to leave their places of work, to speak?") and tears apart the circumstances of her original trial ("even demon defendants are legally entitled to conjuration confirmation of disputed claims; yet the record shows that no model of Olivia ever appeared even after Celendra explained her urgency"; "the penalty for delayed appearance is farcical; no human is expected to turn themselves in if this will result in a dozen of their neighbors seeking to appropriate their children and they expect a bigoted miscarriage of justice about which they will be physically restrained from crying aloud") and gets in a few shots about the conditions on Ganymede before the judge tells her that's a separate topic.
Celendra's sentence is commuted to time served and the GCP is ordered to dismiss her.
That sounds like a fun job; he makes a note to look into getting on lists to do that job.
...also would Clerus and Alatess mind if there were a documentary released in Revelation about their fight to end slavery in Godspring, it'd probably do astoundingly well and maybe get Revelation interested in helping integrate new citizens if any want to live there.

Clerus needs documentaries explained to him, and the historical memetic importance thereof, but after that he agrees.
Oh good. He's not qualified to put it together but he can send some inquiry letters.
If that annoying lady hasn't closed her circle yet he might ask one of his brothers to sneak over and sabotage it.

He really doesn't. Michael could too but Michael despite now being seventeen or eighteen or so still hasn't technically passed his Apparition tests.
Where's the circle?

That's fairly promising for it not being a zoo summons. He will scratch out key bits of binding while she's out anyway, because trying to get Minor dismissed is much harder than arranging for him not to be trapped in the first place. "But don't give her a heart attack, okay?"
"I will pretend to be a very gagged demon until she starts being a jerk, promise." Are any of the other circles live for him horrible -
