Sougo follows Hughes's gesture toward the out of sight area. It seems like a good start. But it's not the ultimate goal. "And what about a way out? You been surveying the area at all? The obvious exits are heavily guarded."

He does have the whip lashings to prove he made an attempt, which sting annoyingly. This whole thing is annoying, and Sougo's grumpy about it. Work is the worst. Why didn't hell just let him spend his days napping instead?

"But maybe if you dress up as a little old lady and form a distraction, all of the sinners will run over to try and whisk you across the street to get up their good deeds, and we can use the chaos to escape?"

It's the sort of suggestion that miiight work in Sougo's world. A world where stupidity prevailed, but probably not so much here.
