Sinsmas
The scene begins with Stolas waking up in a mountain of horse plushies, much to his surprise. The scene pans around the apartment, showing various horse themed objects, even a horse show on TV. The scene goes to Blitzo, who's in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Well, good morning there, Prince Sleeps-A-Lot!" Blitzo greets with a chuckle, swaying his hips as Stolas sats up. "D'you sleep well, big bird?"
"Best I could, I suppose." Stolas answers with a yawn.
He looks at a rocking horse who's missing an eye. He then picks up a horse plushie and tosses it aside.
"Uhhh...My, Blitz...hoohoo...you sure have a lot of...horses." Stolas said with a nervous smile, earned a smile from Blitzo as he turns to him. "Iiisss there a story behind that?"
"There is...But it's way too long, and way to traumatic..." Blitzo said, turned away when darkness reminiscent of flames surround him, but suddenly disappears. "Breakfast'll be ready in a jiff!"
Blitzo smiles and continues making breakfast. Stolas also smiles before frowning, and walking to a cabinet in the bathroom. He opens the cabinet with a horse and a few other objects and tries to reach something, but it's not there. He looks down at the running sink.
"Blitz? Um...Would you be able to grab some-"
The scene cuts to the kitchen, with Blitzo setting eggs on a plate.
"Grab some what?" Blitzo questions.
Back inside the bathroom, Stolas, looking sad and in distress, looks from the sink up to his reflection in the mirror. He forces a smile before turning the sink off.
"Nevermind!" Stolas said.
Stolas walks out of the bathroom. He then walks over to the table set up by Blitzo, having their breakfast ready, consisting of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon.
"Okay, so, I don't know what you eat, so I just made a little everything in hopes that something works for ya." Blitzo told him, pulls up a chair as Stolas sits while he does the same at the other chair. "Got some eggs, made 'em special!"
Stolas gags in his mouth a bit. Blitzo looks shocked, before looking at the eggs, and back to Stolas, putting together what he did.
"Oh. Oh shit. I'm sorry. Is this-th-that's like cannibalism for you, isn't it?" Blitzo asks, putting a plate down.
"No, just rather off-putting. But it is protein, I suppose." Stolas said, pokes the eggs with his fork and eats a bite.
"Uh huh..." Blitzo said, then eats his eggs. "So w-wha-what do you normally eat?"
"Normally I dine on a custom diet prepared by my waiting staff; full of essential nutrients and freshly prepared rarities such as roasted vole or...fire koi?" Stolas a explains while wiping the crumbs with his napkin, places it on a table neatly and Blitzo is intrigued, looking at him. "A fresh kale salad?"
"Oh, nice." Blitzo said. "Anything that I can get that's affordable?"
"Maybe some...rats?" Stolas answered, finished his sentence as Blitzo finished his breakfast, quickly gets up and puts their breakfast in the sink to wash the dishes.
"On it!" Blitzo said happily. "I'll grab my stompers and head out to that alley this afternoon!"
"Mm, well, that'd be nice. Rats were always Via's favorite snack." Stolas said with a smile, about to sip his coffee when he suddenly remembered Octavia with a gasp. "Oh no! Where's your phone?"
"Whoa, whoa, I know what you're thinking, but I was planning to call Antauri." Blitzo told him. "Let me go ahead and take care of it first, then I'll call him."
The scene cuts to London. Antauri was able to get a hold of him who had the bounty on his head, taking him to the police after the trouble back at the bar.
"Thanks for the help, Carl. We've been looking for him for 5 months. He's been taking children for his sexual pleasures."
"I'm sure the kids will be glad they'll be back to their homes." Antauri (Carl) told him.
"We'll make sure they'll be home safely. Have a good night, and the money will be in your account."
Antauri nods as the police takes the pedo away, then hears a phone vibrating as he pulls out the phone.
"Hello?" Antauri answered.
"Hey, kid, look I know it's been like...what? 6 human years in the human world. We were wondering when you'll be getting home." Blitzo said.
"I can't, Blitz. After everything happening in Peru, Lara, Jonah, and I parted ways after helping the people in Paititi take down the last remaining Trinity. Lara stayed in Peru after Roth passed away few days ago, I return to London for my job. After the Interpol found me, they offered me a job." Antauri explains. "It's an offer I can't refuse, and I can get the chance to find the bounties in different continents along with finding more artifacts since the staff from the museum ask of me for that, too."
"Whoa, shit! That's a lot of work you got going on." Blitzo said shockingly.
"But I have to leave one of the jobs while keeping the other. Even though, I refuse to work with someone who dragged Richard and Lara down and make them a complete laughingstock." Antauri told him, sighed.
"I can understand, Antauri. It's not east working with those who made a mockery out of Dr. Richard Croft." Stolas said. "But Antauri, we all want you to come home. Please, come home."
"I can't. I'm sorry, but I got to go." Antauri told him, hangs up as he then rides his motorcycle home.
The scene cuts to the palace, where Stella and Octavia put the books in storage and teleported to the I.M.P. HQ in case Antauri and Lara encountered an artifact. Octavia's phone is ringing, and she smiles as she attempts to answer it until Stella snatches it and answers.
"Hello?" Stella said.
"Stella? What are you doing with Via's phone? I just want to talk to her." Stolas said with a question which Stella extends the phone to her daughter.
"Hey Dad." Octavia greets.
"Hello, Via. I would ask how are you doing, but seeing as my ex-brother-in-law took over the palace after we help Antauri and Lara during their expeditions, I'll take it as it didn't go well." Stolas said with a deadpan look.
"No, Uncle Andy is just making himself at home after turning everything into ice." Octavia told him. "Not to mention making fun of you."
"That won't be the first time, dear. But never mind that, what have you been up to for the past monts? Catching up to your schoolings I take it?" Stolas questions.
"Some, but Mom is helping me storing those books and take them to I.M.P. HQ in case you'll need it for artifacts." Octavia said. "But...is Antauri...coming home?"
Stella turns to her daughter, which she was wondering the same thing since she and her daughter wants him to back to Hell.
"I'm afraid not, he just got back to London to return his job, but he's got new ones from the Interpol...and the staff members from the museum." Stolas answered with a groan in annoyance. "Which is something I don't like since those buffoons from the museum dragged Dr. Richard Croft down and made a complete laughingstock."
"Oh, them." Stella said, scowling as she makes an angry owl sound. "I'd refuse to work with them if I'm in the human world."
"But why can't he come home? I already told Felicia where he's at, and...well, she's probably at London to look for him and find a new store to work." Octavia said sadly. "I just wish he was here, so I can spend some time with him."
"I understand, and we all do. But with him having jobs and staying in London, I'm afraid he'll be busy in the human realm and look out for Lara in case she needs it...knowing how stubborn she could be, mind you. Anyway, with Antauri staying in order to work and watch over her, I'm afraid we have to respect his choice." Stolas told her. "I know it's hard, Via, but he's growing up now and I know you're looking forward to see him. But...please understand."
Octavia didn't like it, but she just nods with an understanding.
"I'll be sure to call you, and whenever Antauri calls, I'll let you know." Stolas said to his daughter. "Just don't let your uncle noticed and don't tell him about Antauri, I just had a feeling he won't give up so easily."
"Oh, we won't. We'll be sure to keep him under wraps." Stella told him, earned a nod from Stolas.
"Keep in touch, I'll contact you." Stolas said, then hangs up.
Octavia and Stella glanced each other, nods as they decided to get her things ready since she's planning to leave Hell to look for Antauri. They head to her room, getting her clothes in the luggage case.
Andrealphus, pacing around back and forth, frustrated and angry that he still wasn't able to find the white hellhound.
"It's incredible! 19 years in the human realm and not a trace of him!" Andrealphus shouts angrily, freezing the imp butlers. "He couldn't have vanished into thin air in Hell and hide somewhere in the human realm!"
Stella and Octavia heard that loud shout, which made them snicker of his anger and frustration for not finding him since they kept it a secret.
Cut back to Blitzo's apartment. Blitzo is cleaning the pan while also looking at Stolas who places the phone on the table.
"Well, it would seem Andrealphus still couldn't find our white hellhound friend." Stolas told him. "I would love to see the look on his face."
Stolas sits down on the beanbag and snickers. Blitzo just laughs while sets the pan down.
"Yeah, I'd like to see that Elsa's face. I bet he's pissed!" Blitzo said, laughing. "Anyway, we should get going."
Blitzo drags Stolas off the beanbag as the scene transitions to the two in Imp City, beginning a montage of their experiences in the city. They walk past booths selling a variety of items and food, but when Stolas looks at the booth, the imp running the booth looks away from him. Next, in a grocery store at the register, even more demons in line throw insults at Stolas after he unknowingly cuts in line in front of them. At a laundromat, Blitzo is talking with Stolas before the washer bursts open and floods their surroundings in bubbles, infuriating the demons around them. Back at the apartment, on a new day, Stolas wakes up on the couch and goes to the bathroom. Again, he goes through the cabinet and reaches something, but it's not there. He exits the bathroom and sees Blitzo cooking breakfast who ends up setting the kitchen on fire. At a diner, the two are eating breakfast, but the waitress serving coffee glares at Stolas. She grins and spits on his breakfast. An imp next to their table laughs at the former prince before Blitzo throw Stolas' breakfast at the imp. The waitress charges at Blitzo.
At a clothing store named 'Frock Off!', Stolas goes through a variety of outfits. The scene then cuts to Blitzo trying to catch a rat in an alleyway, but Stolas is distracted with his call with Octavia. Blitzo grabs the phone, and the scene zooms out to reveal Blitzo in bad shape, with the rat biting his eye, then crawling around his head afterwards, much to his shock. Back at the clothing store, Stolas goes through more outfits. Once he's finished trying the clothes on, Blitzo goes to pay them, but his card is declined, angering the employee cashing him out. Unfortunately, both Blitzo and Stolas exit the store and run away with their unpaid items, setting off the store's alarm.
"Is this how everyone acts when they don't have money?" Stolas asks with a pant.
"Nope, this is how I act when I don't have money!" Blitzo answered with a smirk.
After they're at the apartment, Blitzo and Stolas noticed some of the clothes at the front door and a message.
'Thought you could use some clothes I found at the Croft Manor. It's Richard's clothes, hope you'll use them. -Antauri'
Stolas smiled warmly at that as he takes the clothes while Blitzo smiled, knew that the white hellhound cares.
The scene transitions to Stolas closing the cabinet who's looking at his reflection in the cabinet mirror, ending the montage. Outside, Stolas walks to the couch and falls into it. He squawks despondently. Just then, Blitzo rises from behind the couch.
"Eyyy, Stolas! Merry Sinsmas!" Blitzo shouts as he topples the couch forward, catching Stolas in surprise as he falls on the ground.
"What the fuck was that for?!" Stolas snapped, looking at him as Blitzo sits on the back side of the couch and takes the calendar.
"Uh, it's Sinsmas! You know, the day every Hellborn celebrates and acts on their birth sin? Or any sin, whatever ones they want, honestly!" Blitzo explains.
"I cannot say I'm familiar with this holiday." Stolas told him.
"Really? Wow, rich people don't have any fun, do they?" Blitzo asks surprisingly.
"No, fun is free, but we can afford nice things." Stolas points out, stands up.
"You know what might help that privileged little attitude? Paperwork!" Blitzo suggested happily, gets up from the couch and the scene moves to Loona, who's eating dog treats straight from a box. "Why dontcha come on with me to the office, and help Loony with wi-wh-you know whatever the fuck her job is?"
"Eugh, you have to spend your holiday at work?" Stolas shuddered.
"I choose to spend my holiday at work!" Blitzo answered proudly. "See, last year I set my apartment on fire, so this year we're doing it at the office. It's insured."
Stolas is visibly annoyed by those words, but walks to the door to join them anyway. The scene pans over to Loona once more, this time stuffing the box of dog treats right in her face. Blitzo grabs her by the tail and drags her as the scene cuts to their arrival at the office.
Blitzo opens the office door and walks in. Stolas enters after him, but hits his head on the walls atop of the door.
"Oof, oh. Son of a bitch." Stolas grunts, ducks his head to enter while rubbing his head.
Loona enters the office shortly after with bundles of chips covering her face. Millie and Moxxie are already in the office who are fighting each other because of the fact that they are native from the Wrath Ring. Moxxie grabs a bag of chips from Loona to protect himself from getting sliced by Millie's knife. Unfortunately, this plan falls short, as Millie catches Moxxie off-guard by kicking her leg high up in the air and slices his finger.
"Ow! Millie!" Moxxie whines, shows the cut of his finger.
Moxxie smiles and growls as he tries to chop Millie's neck with his right arm. However, Millie stops his arm from hitting her and uses the end of her tail to poke him.
"Ouch! You're good!" Moxxie said with a smirk.
The scene cuts to the kitchen that's well-decorated with wreaths, lights, and tinsel. The door bursts open as Moxxie and Millie continue their fight. Moxxie is knocked into a chair and falls onto the floor, and Millie uses the chair to hit him. He blocks the chair by opening the refrigerator door and uses a bottle of ketchup inside the fridge to throw at Millie. As the bottle flies over her, she jumps and uses the lamp above her to lunge herself to the fridge door.
"Gna gna gna gna, I'm gonna bite you, Millie!" Moxxie growls.
"You always make me watch old musicals when I wanna watch Cleaver Hand 6: Ultimate Cleavage!" Millie snarls, punches the door.
Millie lunges toward her husband and they both open the door to the meeting room. Stolas watches the married couple with a worried look on his face.
"Well, you snore all the time!" Moxxie retorted, pinning her down.
He growls once more before Millie kicks him away.
"I'll wreck you!" Millie said, pulls out her katana.
"Not if I do first!" Moxxie remarked, pulls out his minigun.
Millie leaps onto the table as Moxxie fires at her, both laughing, before he runs out of ammo. Millie jumps off the table and chases after Moxxie, both playfully hissing at each other then tumbling around together, giggling. Millie and Moxxie rise back up, in each other's embrace. Despite their laughter, Stolas is clearly disturbed with what he saw.
"Happy Sinsmas!" Millie said happily.
Millie and Moxxie kissed before he pulls out a bazooka and blasts her out of the building.
"Happy Sinsmas, honey!" Moxxie shouts cheerfully, waving his hand.
Blitzo enters the staffroom with Loona. Loona sits down besides Stolas while he brings out a whiteboard.
"Listen you, chuckle-fucks! Today, we got Stolas in the office." Blitzo announces as Stolas waves politely. "So, I want each of your red asses on the best behavior possible!"
"Uh, sir? You are literally the only one who needs to adhere to that." Moxxie points out with a frown.
"And that's detention, Mox. Millie, punch him." Blitzo said with a smirk, flips the board around, revealing Millie as she punches Moxxie, then kisses him on the forehead. "Good, Happy Sinsmas, Mox. Now, Loony, Stolas wants to learn how to secretate, so show him how it's done.
"It's literally this: 'Ring, ring. Hello? I.M.P. Yeah, we can kill that asshole. Wanna schedule an appointment? Thursday cool? See you there, dipshit.' Click." Loona said with a sigh, imitating a sucker as a phone and then turning to Blitzo. "It's easy as sin, Blitz. Can I come with you guys if he's on the phone, today?"
"I mean, I-I guess?" Blitzo answered.
"Yes!" Loona said with a fistpump.
"But what about Antauri?" Moxxie asks. "Is he?"
"I don't think he'll be joining with us, Mox, because of that job he's in and all that shit." Blitzo told him, leaving Millie sadden to hear. "Now, as for Stolas."
Cut to the front desk, Blitzo moves the phone closer to Stolas and pushes his seat toward the desk while assuring him.
"See, Stolas? Finally something to help you out, something to do." Blitzo said with an assuring smile. "And I can pay you for it. You could use a little money coming in, right?"
"Money coming?" Stolas repeats in confusion, but the realization hits. "Oh lords! I'M POOR NOW!"
Stolas burst into tears, crying loudly and burying his face onto his desk as I.M.P. watches.
"Oh-ho-ho-ho Fuck!" Stolas sobs, making I.M.P. cringes, now knowing what to do when the phone rings.
"Oh! Answer it!" Blitzo said with a gasp, lifts Stolas' head up. "You can do it, Stolas, come on, answer the phone!"
Stolas hesitates as he reaches for the phone to answer his first customer call. Blitzo stands in front of him, holding flags in support next to his coworkers. Stolas tearfully answers the phone. As Stolas takes the call, Blitzo is excited for the effort with Loona makes an awkward face.
"Hello? I.M.P.? Yes, we can kill your asshole. Immediately, just bring it here." Stolas sobs, choked up with a crooked smile. "Thank you. Good day, ma'am."
Stolas hangs up the call and immediately faceplants onto the desk. Blitzo moves closer to the desk to keep reassuring and encouraging him.
"Uhhh...Close enough!" Blitzo said nervously, pats Stolas' head. "Good job, buddy."
Suddenly, I.M.P.s newest client bursts the door open.
"You said you could kill someone immediately?"
Blitzo grabs Stolas' hand to make hand gestures to him.
"Oh-yeah! Yes, sure we can!" Blitzo answered.
"Good. Because it's Christmas."
The Karen client enters the room and drops her purse onto Millie and Moxxie.
"It's 'Sinsmas' lady, get it right!" Blitzo said, slightly annoyed.
The Karen client steps around to face Blitzo, hip checking Loona out of her way, angering her, but walks away. As she continues her rant, she doesn't even stand in her spot for a moment, as she retreats to the couch and lies down, filing her nails.
"I can't stand the idea of my fucking ex-husband enjoying this sacred holiday with my daughters when he fucking left for another man!"
This story awfully resembles Stolas' situation. He tries to fight back tears, but is failing to do so. Blitzo tries to deflect the client's issue.
"Oh, well." Blitzo said with a nervous laugh. "Tha-tha-that sounds like something that can happen from time to time."
"And he probably CHEATED on me!"
Stolas sinks into his chair and Blitzo nervously chuckles.
"Well, that's-"
Stolas screeches tearfully as he falls behind the desk.
"-not really killing someone over though, right?" Blitzo asks nervously. "I mean, cheating isn't really that big of a deal anymore, is it?"
"Isn't that what this business does? He doesn't deserve to that heinous lifestyle and poison my daughters with it."
"Uh huh." Blitzo said awkwardly. "Look, I don't think this is a job we want to take on."
Moxxie leans in as Millie is over him, giving him a noogie. The client's purse is on top of them.
"Really?" Moxxie said, surprisingly confused.
Stolas climbs back on his desk, still filled with sorrow and ready to project his own actions.
"Why noy? Maybe he deserves it. Selfish men like him don't deserve to-to liiiiive!" Stolas sobs with a gasp.
"Eh, no, that's not-"
Blitzo then groans as he turns to Karen client.
"Alright fine, we'll do your shitty." Blitzo said reluctantly as she smiles evilly. "But you're paying us double, bitch."
Blitzo opens a portal to Earth using the Asmodean Crystal and flips the client off with both hands before entering through. Moxxie, with Millie still on him, leaves next, followed by Loona, who drops an empty bag of chips behind her and flips off the client as well.
Cut to the mansion, Octavia walks alone down the hallway until she steps on a dried leaf. Octavia removes one of the ear buds to her phone and looks down a corridor where Stolas' potted plants, once breaming with life, is dead from the cold ice surrounding the house. Stella then appeared behind her with solemn look on her face, even though it's her fault from the start on tormenting Stolas and he cheated on her which causes the marriage to break apart. However, Antauri and Felicia were able to get them to reconcile and support Octavia while training her, which her daughter was able to learn magic and some combat prowess when she was an owlet thanks to Stella.
"I know what you're thinking, Via." Stella said, earned her attention. "I know we should have those plants elsewhere, but with Charlie and her workers having their hands full, I'm afraid it's out of our hands. We can only give Stolas' some clothes and books he needs in case if Antauri and Lara ever get a chance to discover some artifacts."
"Like last time in Yamatai, Siberia, and Peru. Those are three expeditions he and Lara did together along with Jonah and Striker sometimes and Alundra, who's also part of the Goetia Clan and a curator of the British museum." Octavia told her with a scoff, mentioning the avian demon. "And don't get me started with Felicia, who's been eager to fuck Antauri just so she can have 'puppies' with him."
Stella couldn't help but giggle, seeing how jealous and annoyed Octavia gets when she mentioned Alundra. Though, Stella knows Alundra is part of the Goetia Clan, niece of Andrealphus, Stolas, and Stella, and a cousin of Octavia.
"Sounds like you're green with envy." Stella said, making Octavia crossed her arms.
"I'm. Not. Jealous!" Octavia growls, scowling.
"Oh, come on, Via, don't you think Antauri can make a decision on his own? I mean, sure both Felicia and Alundra are growing up, considering they're very attractive young ladies on their own rights, with the hellhounds great rack and a curvy body, and your cousins' slender appearance, a royal status, well-trimmed feathers, and her beak slightly bigger than your uncles. Not to mention their different goals in mind with great taste in men to boot." Stella told her daughter. "I mean, it's his choice rather he'll choose to be with one of them or, in Hell's case, both as his wives."
"But why couldn't be spending his time with me? I'm his adopted sister ever since I've laid eyes on him and he's just a cute little pup. And now he's an adult, even much older than me now." Octavia said. "It's not fair he gets to stay in the human world and grow up there."
"That's because he doesn't have a choice, Via. Think about it, if Antauri stayed in Hell with those imps, what would your uncle do to them?" Stella questions, narrows her gaze and crossed her arms, causing Octavia to think of an excuse which she got nothing. "Exactly, he will kill Antauri before the trial could even start. Which is why he stays in the human world to keep him off his tracks. Though, we never expect things turned out like this during his expeditions with Lara."
Octavia can agree with her mother, which she wishes she'd be on the expeditions with him.
"Also, your uncle won't find out where he is since it's been for...19 human years, and in our case in Hell...about a year." Stella continued. "Thus, if we ever get a call from him, he'll tell us."
Octavia looked at her phone, wishing she could call him, but with her uncle around at the palace, he'll be overhearing the conversation and asking her to know where he's hiding.
"Now, head to your room and get everything ready, I know you're eager on getting to London to see him." Stella suggests which brightened Octavia's smile as she nods and left.
Inside of her room, Octavia picks up a guitar and lies on her bed. She pucks at the strings while looking around at the items in her room: the books about stars, old photos on the wall with her father covered over and a constellation mural on the ceiling. Octavia decides to move another location.
Inside Stolas' closet, Octavia looks around at the items, some of which are packed inside boxes labeled 'Stolas' Stuff'. She finds a picture she drew of herself and her dad as a child, as well as father's day card and a picture of them with 'Star Observation' written beneath it. Stolas has clearly kept a lot of things she had given him throughout her childhood. While it makes her smile, it also makes her misses him more. All of those memories motivate Octavia to sit down in the closet and play a song on her guitar.
Octavia (Sings):
Your boxes packed up on the bed
Your words are in my head
Stolas' hand appears from behind, attempting to reach out Octavia but stops himself. Octavia turns around and puts the guitar down. She stands out and extends her hand out, lining it up with Stolas' hand.
Octavia (Sings):
Tellin' me that we'll be okay
You'll remember what you said
Or was it just another lie?
The image of Stolas vanishes. Octavia sighs dejectedly and she drops the picture in her hand. The scene transitions to Octavia wandering in the hallway of the palace. Octavia chases after the silhouette of a bird flying away.
Octavia (Sings):
This place that used to be your home
Would you call me on the phone?
Octavia runs through a door and appears as herself as a child alone in the dark. The door closes, and she begins to cry.
Octavia (Sings):
Will I hear your voice in the middle of the night
Will I turn off the lights?
Octavia, now back at the present, wipes the tears from her eyes. A light shines behind her and she turns to see the same image of Stolas looking at her from over his shoulder, but his attention is diverted when an image of Blitzo crawls up to him, seductively. Octavia watches with despair.
Octavia (Sings):
Or are you just another ghost?
Ohhhh
Octavia reaches out for Stolas, but he suddenly takes off. Octavia chases after him again, running into a room and finding him appearing inside her family painting with Blitzo's image again, smiling at her.
Octavia (Sings):
How could you lie to my face?
And did out time mean nothing to you?
Both images take off out of the room with Octavia running after them again, unable to keep up and falling into the floor. Only then does the image of Stolas stop and turns to her. The image extends his hand to help her up.
Octavia (Sings):
Were you bluffing all along?
That you would be there to see
Yourself forgiven by me
Octavia angrily slaps Stolas' hand away and stands on her own. She backs away from Stolas' image as the palace around her crumbles and breaks apart.
Octavia (Sings):
If you thought I'd take it you were wrong!
Oh you were wrong!
Another transition turns to shooting stars hitting the ground around Octavia as she walks alone. Some of the stars contain burning photographs of her childhood.
Octavia (Sings):
And when you're gone I will be okay
I will be okay, though I'll never be the same
Cracks appear from the ground as the Earth breaks apart including globes and books from Stolas' closet. Octavia stands in the middle of the disaster, growing with determination from her heartbreak.
Octavia (Sings):
And I'll know that I was right to doubt you!
I'll grow without you and you'll only know my name
When the disaster fades, Octavia is left in darkness, save for a bright purple light from a flame dropping down toward her. Octavia reaches out and catches the flame in her hand. The flame reveals the Star Observation photo she had been looking at before, but it burns in her hands as she crumples it up and lets it drop to her feet. She walks forward as her footprints light up a path behind her. Octavia stops and looks at the stars around her.
Octavia (Sings):
You always told me I'd be okay
Well I'll be okay, though I'm not okay today
The scene transitions back to Stolas' closet as Octavia finishes the song. Tears stream down her face, and onto her drawing of her and Stolas.
Octavia (Sings):
But my tears won't fall upon my shoulder
I'll just get older and you'll only know my name
Octavia stands up and looks around the closet one last time. Before she leaves, she looks at her guitar and places it on a shelf above her before she notices a pill bottles. When she picks it up, she notices that it's Stolas' Happy Pills. She notices a box full of the same bottles behind it. She was surprised by the discovery, and after a moment, she leaves the room with a newfound determination.
Cut back to the office. Stolas checks Blitzo's phone and finds no new messages, disappointing him. He turns his attention back to his journal to do some writing but then quickly picks up the phone and refreshes the page. When the phone still shows no new messages, Stolas groans and grow more desperate. The Karen client is standing up in front of the couch, growing increasingly impatient.
"Ugh! Don't you have any reading material anywhere? Aren't we supposed to sit her and wait?"
The Karen client is trying to get Stolas' attention, but he keeps blocking her with Bltzo's phone while waiting for messages.
"How long do they take?"
"They take their time." Stolas told her without looking at her. "It's a difficult business, I imagine."
"You 'imagine', huh? Well, they should hurry up if they expect people to just stick around without anything to do. What a shoddy business operation!"
"Ooh! Here's an idea: You could shut the fuck up!" Stolas snapped, nearing his limit and stands up.
It made her gasp dramatically.
"Rude!"
"Not a rude as you ranting and wanting them to 'hurry up'!" Stolas retorted as the phone rings, quickly grabs it. "Oh, yes-yes-yes-yes! Hello?"
"Stolas? Geez, what's got you excited?" The voice of Antauri asks, making Stolas shocked as he cleared his throat.
"Oh, sorry Antauri, I was expecting someone else." Stolas said. "But never mind that, decide to change your mind and come to Hell?"
"No, that's not the reason why I'm calling you." Antauri answered. "Do you have a client that's killed and mentioned the name 'The Light'?"
Stolas became confused, looking at the Karen client who gave her a shrug.
"No, why do you ask?" Stolas questions.
"Few days ago, Camilla Roth gives me the information about 'The Light' who are the group of killers, killing the people who are on the hit list." Antauri explains. "And I was wondering if you know anything."
Stolas then places down the phone, gets on the computer to look for the information about 'The Light', which the website pulled out and showing the articles.
"Hm, it says that 'The Light' are originally descended from the Templar Knights. Some of the knights are worshipped by a powerful god, but when the church was destroyed, the Templar Knights were wiped out. There are those who survived and went into hiding, founded the Light and began to work in secrets." Stolas explains. "But after centuries past, the Light are connected to Trinity, dignitaries, and the church, but number of people were killed by the Light as well. And it's been ongoing ever since."
"Okay, so these guys a group of murderers and thinking that killing people are Gods orders, which it's load of bullshit." Antauri points out. "But is there anywhere to find them?"
"It doesn't say, and I'm afraid they've been all over after the Trinity has been disbanded since their financial crashed and the leaders were killed thanks to you and Lara." Stolas said. "But...why are asking me about the Light and what's that have to do with you and her?"
"...I think Lara is in trouble." Antauri answered with a sigh, making Stolas shocked. "And I think it has something to do with the case we found years ago."
"Case? What kind?" Stolas questions curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it's Chinese no doubt. And how it got to Chile? I don't know." Antauri answered again. "Look, if we were able to find out, I'll let you know."
"Alright but just be careful." Stolas said with a nod.
"No promises." Antauri replied, then hangs up.
Stolas couldn't help but sigh, knew that Antauri and Lara are fixing to head out for their adventure which causes them to become reckless. Then, the phone rings again as he answers it.
"Hello?" Stolas answers.
"Hey, I'm calling you about your extended warranty on your new Robo Pony 2000-"
And with that, Stolas snaps. Stolas crushes Blitzo's phone with his hand, picks up a stuffed toy and rips it into two, throws the desk tree across the room, pushes the Sinsmas tree over, tosses a couch cushion, and returns to the desk to flip it over, but it doesn't budge.
"Augh! Come on, you suck! You fucking suck! You fucking piece of shit, move you fucking face, you goddamn sucking motherfucker-"
Stolas fails to flip the desk and completely loses it.
"GAH! WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT I AM! THIS WAS SO STUPID! I CANNOT BELIEVE I COULD BE THIS FUCKING STUPID!" Stolas yelled, bangs his head against the desk twice and then tries to flip the desk again. "I RUINED EVERYTHING! MOVE! YOU SHITTY DESK!"
Stolas still can't move the desk, so he picks up his journal and looks at the page he is on, including a drawing.
"And I did it for what? These stupid, foolish fantasies?!" Stolas continued.
Stolas tosses the book away. The Karen client, stunned into silence, steps out of the way before it hits the wall and lands onto the couch. Stolas rushes for the door to the office and opens it.
"I can't stand any longer! I don't care what they fucking do! I'M SEE OCTAVIA!" Stolas said in determination.
Stolas leaves, slamming the door behind him. The Karen client picks up Stolas' journal and sits back down on the couch, preparing to read it.
"I guess it's something to read."
The scene cuts to I.M.P.s destination at Earth. The destination is a neighborhood, and it's snowing at night. A girl is facing the portal before leaving once it fully opens. Blitzo enters, followed by Moxxie happily taking Millie's hand to bring her through. The trio shiver upon feeling the freezing temperatures as Loona goes through the portal.
"Ahhh, it is cold as shit!" Blitzo said, wraps himself up with his arms. "What is this?"
"Do humans have Sinsmas too?" Millie asks.
"I-I don't think so." Moxxie answered. "This seems to be something else."
Loona is observing a santa decoration. Millie looks at a child angel decoration before suddenly throwing up.
"You okay, babe?" Moxxie asks with concern.
"Oh, yeah!" Millie replied, coughs. "Must be the cold."
Blitzo puts his hand on Millie's shoulder before turning her around to face the target's house.
"Okay, let's just hurry up and kills this son of a bitch so we can get the fuck back home." Blitzo suggests.
Blitzo runs towards the house and rolls on the snow before stopping at the window. Blitzo takes his gun out but lowers it to look at the scene before him. Moxxie appears next to him, and also looks through to see the happy family. One of the daughters put a santa hat on her dad's head, while the other daughter gives the other dad a gift. The two dads share a kiss, displaying a warm and wholesome scene of the family. Blitzo shivers and hesitates with the hit.
"Sir? This may be out of turn...But I feel like this one isn't worth the money." Moxxie told him.
Loona and Millie walk up behind the two. Loona tosses the santa decoration into the snow.
"What?" Millie said surprisingly.
"I don't think I wanna be part of this one, sir." Moxxie said.
Loona brings the crew together. Millie is still shivering while Blitzo silently contemplates what to do.
"You okay, dad?" Loona asks, turning to him.
Blitzo turns to face his daughter, and she assures him.
"I can handle this one." Loona said, smiling. "You know, if you're not up for it."
"Really?" Blitzo inquires, earned a nod from her.
Blitzo turns back to the happy family. It turns out Blitzo is imagining him, Loona, Stolas, and Octavia in the same position. He's holding a big present, and Stolas and Octavia warmly smile together. The present Blitzo was holding is a horse, which elates him. He hugs and brings his family close together.
"Nah, fuck this." Blitzo said. "We're going home."
Blitzo stands up and walks away from the house. Loona follows him, but Moxxie stays with Millie as she protests to the decision.
"What?" Millie said. "Didn't he cheat or s-s-something? Come on, this is fun! We've done this kind of t-t-thing before."
"Just...not this one, Mils." Blitzo told her without looking. "Not today."
Blitzo rubs his Asmodean Crystal to activate the portal. Loona and Moxxie walk towards the portal, but Millie stands in her spot before moving back to the house.
"I can do this one, I can do this!" Millie muttered.
"Millie!" Blitzo called her sternly, stops her in her tracks before going through the portal.
Moxxie looks at her, and puts a hand on her shoulder to soothe her. However, Millie is furious with this decision.
"We'll do it next time!" Moxxie assures her. "It's just not worth it."
"Don't start, Moxxie! Just because you aren't demon enough to do this job, doesn't mean..."
Before Millie can finish, Moxxie looks down, dejected.
"I'm sorry." Millie said, calms down.
"Sweetie, I know it's Sinsmas and it's in the spirit of Wrath...But are you okay?" Moxxie asks, worrying about her.
"I'm fine, I don't...know what's got into me today." Millie answered as Moxxie kissed her forehead and pulls her into a hug.
"It's okay. I'm here for you." Moxxie assures his wife.
With that, they both go through the portal, closing it.
Back in the office, Blitzo is still shivering as the Karen client continues to read Stolas' journal.
"Wow! I never wanna go anywhere cold again." Blitzo said. "Geez, wonder how Antauri ever puts up the cold that's not even compared to Siberia?!"
Blitzo notices Stolas is nowhere to be seen, before turning to the Karen client.
"Uhh, Stolas?" Blitzo said, but noticed an article at the computer. "The Light, the fuck is all this?"
"He's gone! And he left this terribly sinful erotic novel behind. Can you believe this trash? Didn't make me wet at all."
Blitzo frowns at her statement. Fed up, the scene cuts to the outside of the building, and Blitzo throws her out of the window. She screams as she falls, and Blitzo waves at her with Stolas' journal.
"Wow, I feel lighter!" Blitzo said cheerfully when Octavia enters the office. "Octavia? Wh-what are you doing here?"
"I came to give these back to my dad, where the fuck is he?" Octavia asks.
"I swear, he was just right here." Blitzo told her. "But I noticed Stolas is looking about 'The Light'. Must've been Antauri called him about it."
"Why?" Octavia inquires.
"Whatever it is, it probably spells 'Danger' all over it. But never mind that, Stolas' just here when we left." Blitzo said, changing the subject.
"Ugh, where would he go?" Octavia questions.
Blitzo thinks for a moment, and figures out where he might've went.
"I think I know." Blitzo said.
Stolas approaches his palace, now covered with patches of ice. He looks around at the ice sculptures of Andrealphus as he reaches the front steps. As he ascends, the stairs of ice covers the ground. The ice rises into a wall, blocking Stolas' path and sending him sliding back to the ground.
"Ugh, fucking Ice Queen." Stolas groans, rolls his eyes. "How extra can you get?"
"Oh, this is just said, Stolas." The voice of Andrealphus said with a smirk.
Stolas frowns as Andrealphus stands behind him. Stolas stands up and turns to face him.
"Let me see my daughter this instant!" Stolas snarls.
Andrealphus chuckles vindictively as he passes Stolas, taking the opportunity to gloat. Stolas follows Andrealphus' movements with hatred in his eyes.
"I imagine this is rather hard for you, Stolas." Andrealphus said with arrogance. "Aww, poor thing. All alone now without your plants, your lovely stars, or your lovely, little daughter. Everything you are now-"
Stolas suddenly punches Andrealphus right in his face. Andrealphus is stunned by the action and his started to bleed. Stolas then tackles Andrealphus to the ground and starts pummeling him with more punches followed by a few stomps from his feet as the Marquis shrieks and groans in pain. After a moment, Stolas stands up, picks up a large ice sculpture of Andrealphus and hits him with it, causing it to break. Stolas is about to punch him again, but Andrealphus raises his hand and stops him with his powers. Stolas is pushed away by the icy winds. Andrealphus' crown flies up from the ground and lands back on his head as he levitates and flares his tail feathers.
"Goetia be damned!" Andrealphus snarls angrily, through playing around as his tail feathers transform into ice blades and reach out to grab hold of Stolas' limbs, raising him up and pulling him closer to him. The remaining feathers turn into icicle spears, aimed directly at him. "You are dead for that!"
"Do it...Pussy." Stolas said, unwavered as the icicle spears inch closer to his face.
"I will enjoy this." Andrealphus said with a sinister smirk.
"Hey Elsa!" Blitzo shouts.
Andrealphus turns his attention to the sound and is hit in the face with a snowball. I.M.P. has arrived at the palace.
"Get your icy hands off my bottom, bitch!" Blitzo shouts.
"The imp?" Andrealphus said with a laugh, darkly amused. "The imp is challenging me-"
Blitzo throws another snowball, hitting Andrealphus in the face. Andrealphus is no longer amused, he's pissed.
"Scatter!" Blitzo ordered.
The crew split off into different directions. Loona tries to leap up and grab Stolas, but Andrealphus moves him away from her reach. Moxxie grabs Millie by both hands, flips over and launches her into the air. Millie flies toward Andrealphus, but before she can strike, he has her swatted down by an icicle blade.
"Millie!" Moxxie shouts with worry as he run towards his wife, who falls toward the palace.
"Loona! Launch me!" Blitzo called her.
Loona runs over, picks up Blitzo and throws him into the air. Blitzo screams the grabs onto the ice.
Blitzo runs up the icicles toward Stolas. Andrealphus takes notice and uses his power to thicken the ice, sending it up and toward Stolas. The thickened ice makes it slightly easier for Blitzo to run on, but just before he reaches Stolas, he slides down, getting caught in Andrealphus' grasp.
"You little insects really think you can do anything to me? The Marquis of Hell?" Andrealphus questions as Loona sees her father in danger and begins her new transformation. She growls as her limbs grow bigger with more fur and reveal a new set of small eyes. "You are delusional!"
"Eeehh! Try again, bitch! I've been called so much worse!" Blitzo remarked with a smirk, causing Andrealphus shouts with such profanity, leaving him stunned by that insult.
"It'll be rather amusing to squash you all." Andrealphus said.
Andrealphus hears a howl from above. He looks up and sees Loona, in her full demonic form, heading toward him. Loona bite Andrealphus in the neck, causing him to drop Blitzo and focus on his bleeding. As Blitzo falls, Loona drops down close enough for him grab onto her fur. She lands safely onto the ground on all fours. Loona and Blitzo watches Stolas is completely incased with ice, which forms into a giant hydra. Andrealphus shrieks a command and the hydra roars at the two of them.
"Oh, fuck me." Blitzo muttered.
Suddenly, the loud hissing noise was heard as they turned their attention to Striker, who holds the medallion that has a Medusa carving that made a hissing sound, turning the hydra into stone and breaks, freeing Stolas. Both Blitzo and Loona was stunned at that.
"Striker?! The fuck are you doing here?! I fired you!" Blitzo exclaims.
"You did, but that won't stop me on hunting some bounties and nabbing up some artifacts along the way." Striker told him. "This is called the 'Medusa's Medallion', a very niffty little thing has powerful magic that can turned anyone into stone. Based on the hero named Perseus uses the head of a Medusa to turn the kraken into stone."
Stolas then stands up and walks towards Striker.
"And how do you know about what it does?" Stolas questions seriously.
"Antauri. He sure does give me some history lessons and it's starting to grow on me." Striker told him.
"WHAT?! Antauri is still alive and you somehow able to find him?!" Andrealphus shouts. "Where is he?! Where is that hellhound?!"
"I ain't tellin' you shit! And even if I did, it won't end well for you, icy bitch!" Striker said with a scowl.
Andrealphus snarls at his remark, about to conjures a hydra again as he's being hit and sent flying against the pillar. He turns and saw both Millie and Moxxie with variety of firearms, aiming at Andrealphus.
"You dare to challenge-"
"THAT'S ENOUGH, ANDREALPHUS!?" The voice of Stella shouts, causing him to turn. "This fight ends now!"
"Stella, what are-I thought you-"
"I called Striker to help them, and I figured this could result into a fight." Stella cuts him off. crossed her arms with a scowl on her face. "And don't think I didn't know what you are planning at the palace...I wonder what Satan would say when you got your asses handed to the imps and a hellhound while demanding an answer in order to kill Antauri. It'll leave a very bad impression on your face, not to mention you'll be suffering just like Stolas, wouldn't you say?"
Andrealphus' pride overrides his rage and all he can do is fap his lips together.
"They're not worth my time anyway!" Andrealphus scoffs. "But you WILL regret this!"
"Will I really?" Stella asks, raising her eyebrow. "Well, in that case, let's have a little chat..."
With that, Stella pulls Andrealphus as she drags him inside of the palace, leaving him squirming in pain and leaving them alone. Both Stolas and Striker can tell it'll be more than that, hearing a loud screaming sound coming Andrealphus which made them wince. Then, Octavia approaches from behind when Stolas turns and noticed his daughter.
"Via!" Stolas said joyfully as he rushes to her daughter, hugging her. "I so happy to see you!"
Octavia doesn't return this gesture. Her magic breaks a nearby block of ice apart that's reflecting the both of them.
"You lied to me!" Octavia said in anger.
"What?" Stolas said surprisingly.
"You lied to me!" Octavia snapped, pushes Stolas away. "You said you would never leave me! You promised!"
"Via. I-I didn't leave you I-I-I would never, it wasn't my choice." Stolas said, tried to explain.
"It was your choice. You chose HIM!" Octavia said angrily, points at Blitzo who looks away in guilt as the rest of the crew watch the fallout in stunned silence.
Stolas tries to step forward, but Octavia steps back.
"Via, no! I didn't I just-I had to." Stolas said sadly. "You don't understand!"
"I do understand!" Octavia snapped, clenching her fist as magic forms. "I understand that we were never enough for you! You never loved mother, and you don't love me, you love him. And you needed THESE! Was this my fault that you needed these?"
"No! No, never Via!" Stolas quickly answered, grabbing Octavia's hands. "Sweetie, please. You have always been the only good thing in my life!"
"So does that mean you just stayed miserable because of me?" Octavia asks, tearing up. "Was I some fucking obligation? Is that why you didn't even hesitate when you got a chance to leave?"
Octavia pulls her hand back and turns to leave by opening the portal while grabbing her luggage. Stolas takes her arm and fall to his knees.
"I love you, Via. So, so much. Please, sweetie, let me explain." Stolas pleads.
"I can't. You lied to me once, and you'll do it again." Octavia said, as the tears streaming. "Have a great fucking life with him, Dad."
Octavia takes her arm back and walks up to the portal that'll take her to London. Stolas tries to reach out to her, but the portal closes in front of her, preventing him for reaching her. Stolas is now left alone again with no home, and her daughter left Hell, tearing up. Stolas falls to his knees sobbing loudly in pain and anguish, having truly lost his daughter. Blitzo quietly approaches Stolas and places his jacket over him. I.M.P. and Striker watch as Stolas continues crying, clutching his bottle of Happy Pills.
The scene cuts to the apartment. Loona, back in her regular form, opens the door to the apartment and stretches as she enters. Stolas, completely broken after today's events, quietly enters the apartment followed by Blitzo, who closes the door behind him.
"Whew, that was intense." Loona said, then cracks her back. "I'm gonna see if my friends can still come tonight. I need some drinks after what happened today."
"Yeah, sure. Whatever you want, Loony. Mmkay?" Blitzo replied with a sad smile.
Stolas silently holds Blitzo's jacket to him, without making any eye contact. Blitzo takes back the jacket and watches as Stolas sits down on the couch. Blitzo places a blanket over Stolas' shoulder, then goes into the kitchen. Blitzo cooks come lava eggs to eat them, causing to heat up, then sits on Stolas' lap to warm him up. Blitzo looks up at Stolas.
"She hates me." Stolas said.
Blitzo frowns, unsure of what to say but quietly sits with Stolas. Time passes by and the Sinsmas party is now in full swing. Millie, Moxxie, and Striker arrived at the apartment, and Loona is chatting with her hellhound friends while Blitzo watches, dressed in a holiday sweater. A Sinsmas song is playing in the background. Moxxie approaches Stolas with a plate of cookies shaped like horses, two of them resembling Blitzo and Stolas.
"You wanna try one of my home baked Sinsmas cookies, your Highness?" Moxxie offers.
"I think I'll pass, but thank you." Stolas declines politely. "And you don't need to address me like that."
Blitzo grabs his shaped cookie with his tongue and eats it, much to Moxxie's ire.
"Hey, where's Mills?" Blitzo asks, wondering.
Inside of the bathroom, Millie washing her hands anxiously. She uses the paper towels to push down an open box in the trash. She looks down at the sinks and frowns.
"Shit." Millie said with a sigh as she slams her fist into the sink.
Millie steps out of the bathroom, holding her phone as Moxxie approaches her, holding a board game called, 'Mammonopoli'.
"Oh, hey sweetie." Moxxie said with a smile. "We're about to start board game!"
"I'll be right there baby!" Millie replied with a feigned smile. "Callin' the fam for Sins first."
Millie leaves the apartment and calls someone. Sallie May answers the phone and is in Lin and Joe's house.
"Hay!" Sallie May greets.
"Hey Sal, you alone?" Millie asks.
Sallie May looks at Lin, Joe, and her brothers, sitting with her in the living room in front of the TV.
"Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm..." Sallie May said, prolong the answer as she moves to the door and outside. "Yes."
"Okay, good." Millie said with her voice breaking, tearfully. "I just need someone to talk to about something."
"What's going on?" Sallie May asks, started to grow worried.
Millie looks down at her hand: A pregnancy test with a positive result. She sinks to the floor in fear.
"I don't know what to do." Millie cried.
Loona holds up her phone to her friends.
"Okay, okay! So did you see fucking Viki's post the other day?" Loona asks with a smirk. "Fucking Vikki?"
"I swear, if she posts one more humble brag about that ugly ass car, I'm going to commit." Gigi said.
"Cha, for real." Russ agrees.
Having finished her call, Millie steps back into the apartment and hugs Moxxie.
"Oh, hi sweetie." Moxxie greets his wife. "How'd the call go?"
"It was nice." Millie replied, frowning. "You know I love you?"
"Love you too!" Moxxie said, nose rubs with her.
Moxxie walks Millie to the couch with the others. Millie is still conflicted about the news. Loona brings out a case of Glut-Honey: Sinsmas Edition.
"Okay! Time for the board games! WITH DRINKS!" Loona said as she passes out the drinks to everyone, Blitzo notices Stolas getting up and walking out to the balcony. "Merry fucking Sinsmas, am I right? Vikki's such a bitch!"
Blitzo gets up and after putting the blanket back on the couch, heads toward the balcony.
"No, I didn't invite her! She brings the whole party down!" Loona said.
"Hey, you guys go on without me, okay?" Blitzo suggests. "I'll just-I need a moment."
On the balcony, Stolas is smoking a cigarette. Blitzo over to him.
"You mind if I steal?" Blitzo offers.
"Oh, when have you ever asked?" Stolas asks as he hands Blitzo his cigarette. Blitzo takes a puff and hands it back to Stolas.
"Today was a lot, wasn't it? I-I-I know you can't see your kid." Blitzo said. "And I know you did so fucking much just to save my life-"
"It's okay." Stolas said calmly. "Saving you was the right thing to do. And you have risked your life for mine in return. You don't need to feel any guilt for my situation, it was my choice. It was all my choice. I caused all of this."
"Well, she'll understand eventually." Blitzo assures, puts his hand on Stolas' arm. "You gotta give her time."
"Blitz, she's gone. For one hundred years, she's gone." Stolas told him sadly. "And after all that time, she'll never forgive me. I'll be a stranger to her."
Blitzo frowns, understanding Stolas' feelings.
"Y'know, my twin sister...She hates me too. For something that I did." Blitzo said, earned his attention. "And I miss her, every day. We were so fucking close, y'know, we-it's a shitty feeling. But, you just gotta keep trying."
Blitzo tries to put his hand on Stolas' but he moves his hand away.
"Yes, of course." Stolas said, puffs the cigarette.
A slow, festive song starts playing as Russ pokes his head out onto the balcony. Loona joins him soon after.
"No 'O'! Get your ass in here! We're starting the games!" Russ called him.
"Yeah, I need you to show up Russ!" Loona adds.
"Hey, I'll be back in just a sec, kay?" Blitzo told them, rubbing his neck. "Sounds like uh...they want be back in there."
"Go enjoy your Sinsmas, Blitz." Stolas said with sad smile. "I'm fine. you don't have to stay here with me"
Blitzo smiles then climbs up the balcony railing.
"What are you doing?" Stolas asks shockingly.
"Well, I can't fucking dance with you without-come here-getting inventive." Blitzo offers, pulls Stolas closer.
Stolas smiles and takes Blitzo's hand. The two proceed to dance on the balcony together.
"I imagine we look ridiculous right now." Stolas stated with a chuckle.
"Yeah, like that's anything new." Blitzo scoffs. "I mean, look at me, I'm like four feet tall, and you? You're like one of those really, very, tall, tall horses."
"Never seemed to be an issue, I guess you were just...creative." Stolas remarked with a chuckle.
"Only as creative as you were flexible." Blitzo said with a smile.
Stolas laughs at his innuendo. He's starting to feel a little better. Blitzo stares at Stolas' eyes while he stares at his lips. Stolas stares at Blitzo's eyes while he stares at his lips. Finally, they stare directly at each other. Blitzo smiles and gives Stolas a hug. While he accepts the hug, Stolas doesn't return it. He looks up at the night sky, reflecting on everything. He closes his eyes as it ends.
That's it for the 36th chapter.
