The Red Letters establish a base on Sheol's surface, simply called "Home," which serves as a hub for Yuko and the crew to relax and socialize in between runs to the core. In stark contrast to the dead, drab, and rocky surface of Sheol, Home is clean, futuristic, and colorful, adorned with bright lights and vivid abstract murals painted by Forrest. There are quite a few notable buildings to visit, like...
The shop, where Yuko can use Elytrum to purchase items, permanent stat upgrades, and blueprints for VCG mods from Maya, which are then added to the item pool. Cosmetic changes to Home's layout like new rooms, furniture, and paintings can also be purchased here.
The mess, courtyard, and barracks, where the majority of the dialogue and inter-character moments happen, a.k.a. where the story develops the most.
The decontamination room, where Yuko takes her gear off to be prepared for the next run and talks to Forrest.
The prep room/the Well, where Yuko gets her equipment back and is lowered down into Sheol, pin addition to most dialogue with Kalista.
Booker's chambers, where many character moments with Booker happen and where missions are assigned
The overlook, where the player can get a view of Sheol's surreal, beautiful, blue-sunned skyline
