Later on that same day, Blitz is seen lying on the therapy couchs in one of the various Hotel rooms used for therapy as Bendy sits in a chair while holding a notepad.

Bendy: Okay, so positives first, you're making some really good progress. If this keeps up, we'll be able to let you go next month. Now, would you tell me a bit about your childhood? Where did this all start?

Blitz: ....*sighs* Well, where do I fucking start? I was raised in my family circus, I was still in my funk after... Mom died, but I tried to be good for the audience. Actually, that was also the day I met Stolas.

Bendy: Wait, really?

Blitz: Yeah, uh give me a quick sec.

The imp then takes out his phone, typing on it before setting it down, Stolas being seen as the contact.

However, back at Goetia Manor, we see Stolas sitting on the couch in his robe, turning up the volume on his TV as he holds a bowl of cereal while the TV plays a Hell-A-Novela.

Alejandro: Aie, why can't you respect my problems of recuperating my emotions, Gabriella?

Stolas: I truly feel your pain Alejandro.

As he takes a bite of cereal, his cellphone rings on the table. The screen lights up as smoke comes out and says "Blitzy is calling". Stolas realizes and starts choking, since the spoon somehow got lodged in his throat.

After hitting himself in the stomach to spit up the spoon, he scrambles over to his phone, spilling his bowl and getting stuck in his blanket in the process as he answers the phone, entering a video chat where we cut back to the Hotel

Stolas: Helloo? Hello, Blitz?

Blitz: Hey Stolas, I'm in therapy talking to Bendy and he brought up my childhood. You mind helping me tell him about the day we met?

Stolas: Oh, not at all, dear friend. Can Bendy hear me?

Bendy: Yeah, I hear you loud and clear, Stol.

Stolas: Good. Now listen closely... It all started about a few months before my major growth spurt, back when I had the mindset of a young lad. Mostly because I was a young lad... even though I was many centuries old at the time.

French Narrator: Many centuries earlier....

Stolas: *voice-over* It was my 412th birthday, which by human aging processes about... My 10th birthday I should say.

We close in on Goetia Manor, where clearly, a younger Stolas is asleep in his bed, surrounded by a multitude of plush toys. He yawns as he begins to wake up, only for his eyes to immediately widen and smile as he remembers what day it was..

Young Stolas: My birthday, my birthday! It's my birthday! Yay! *walks into bathroom* Birthday! Birthday! Woohoo! Birthday time!

As he goes into the bathroom, he steps up to the sink, where an imp servant helps straighten his feathers and put on his cape and crown.
