One thing I loved about Wake Up Dead Man is that when Jud says to Cy “your real inheritance is in Christ”, he was being Literal.
The jewel was inside Jesus’s bosom, in the crucifix that Jud made after Cy left. It will be there if Cy ever chooses to change his ways and come back to the Church - the real Church.
It’s hope of reconciliation and forgiveness.
Cy probably will never change, but his Inheritance is still waiting for him. Just like Jesus Christ waits for the penitent to seek out his forgiveness and his grace - that’s humanity’s inheritance that they will earn through him.
