The scene opens with a shot of a galaxy, with Stolas narrating over it.
Stolas: "In the great expanse of the nether there exists boundless amounts of magnificent phenomenon the great brilliance of an exploding star, the nimble dance of space dust through a nebula but once every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall."
Stolas: "Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is: Azathoth's Tears."
Octavia (Young): *Giggles* "Daddy, can we go see it someday?"
Stolas: "Yes, dear. I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you. Good night, my Owlette."
Octavia (Young): *Yawns* "Good night!"
She turns and wiggles and giggles in her bed. Scene shifts to present Octavia, still looking happy; she's circling a drawing on a calendar of her face, Stolas' face, and a meteor shower. The starfall is "today". She hops down a hallway putting on her boot.
Octavia: "Hey, dad!"
She looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but he isn't there.
Octavia: "Dad? Dad?"
She sees an open foyer door, we hear Stolas' voice coming through it.
Stolas: "Yes, I know!"
The scene jumps to Stolas out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in his other hand. Imps are loading items into a van.
Stolas: "It will be there, shortly."
Stolas: "Of course, they're being careful!"
Octavia: "Dad, what's going on?"
Stolas: "Apparently, your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions--"
Stella is yelling something incomprehensibly in response through the phone as he speaks.
Stolas: "What? No! I'm not turning her against you-- Yes, Stella!"
Stella: *through the phone* "--never have to see your fucking face again!"
Octavia: "Dad?"
Stella: *through the phone* "Everyone-"
She continues to yell incomprehensibly.
Octavia: "This is going to be done before tonight, right?"
Stolas: "What? Oh. I hardly think so. Knowing your mother, this will take all weekend. *turns to the imps loading the car* Don't be gentle about it, now! Break whatever you have to to get it all in there."
