The In-Between

The 5th layer of Heaven that serves as a purgatorial setting for Humans who are not found to be immediately righteous or evil on death (see Humans & Judgement for more information on classifications after death).

In this layer the Grigori (Fallen Watchers - a subset of Fallen Angels) are trapped as punishment for their fall.

Islands
Each of the 6 islands in the In-Between are managed by multiple Grigori and one Archangel (Satanael does not have an island). Souls sent here exist in a spectrum of redeemable. Though all were found to be potentially redeemable, some are more evil, normal, or more righteous - all with their own extent of flaws. For this, different Islands exist and are run with different philosophies for redemption.

Punishment (Retribution): (Led by Uriel) The punishment they deserve

Incapacitation (Imprisonment): (Led by Raguel) Imprisonment

Negligence (negative nothing): (Led by Michael) Mostly fallen angels presiding over the island. Michael mostly separates himself from managing the island, choosing to focus on more holy souls (in upper levels, and still alive on Earth).

Rumination (positive nothing): (Led by Gabriel) ''Promote thinking and time to change. Mostly holy angels presiding over the island.''

Kindness (good example): (Led by Raphiel) Change only occurs through love and kindness.

Q: Do the islands run out of space for the new souls? There aren't that many on this one. "No, others are bigger. Each island is managed by an Archangel and and the quality of life is different for each depending on the life led by the souls."

Purification

Souls in the in-between are meant to remain in Heaven for year until they are clean or deemed unfitting for Heaven.
