Thinkin' about things.
How Sarah probably kept Ray's note as a trophy of sorts just like the embroidery from the second light novel/chapter 181.2 (coincidentally, both given to her by Krone in an act of betrayal).
How somehow amidst everything that was going on in the turnover of power when Isabella became Grandma, she stumbled across the note (defaulting to her being tasked with cleaning out any of Sarah's personal effects since by the time you reach such a position the demons assume you've fully bought into the system and have nothing worrisome to hide).
How potentially one of the Sisters held onto the note and one day in the human world remembered she still had it.
How that Sister might have approached Ray to return the note that he never imagined he'd see again and explain why she had it.
