[The scene opens with a shot of a galaxy, with 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. She grabs her cellphone and calls a contact called "Cherry juice".]

Cereza: (Through the phone) Hello?

Octavia: Hey Cereza are you ready?

Cereza: (Through the phone) Uh ready for what?

Octavia: The Starfall! You know the one we talk two days ago!

Cereza: (Through the phone) Oh that!

Octavia: Yes, me and dad are getting ready so we can pick you-

Cereza: (Through the phone) Octavia I'm so sorry but I can't go with you today.

Octavia: What?! Why not?!

Cereza: (Through the phone) Dad has told me that some bankers and investors in the greed ring are asking for some documentation and he needs me there. But don't worry next time we can do something else besides you are still gonna go with your father aren't you? So go have fun! Gotta go bye!

Octavia: Bye...

[Octavia hangs up.]

Octavia: Hey, dad! (She looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but he isn't there) Dad? Dad?

[She sees an open foyer door, we hear Stolas' voice coming through it.]

Stolas: Yes, I know!

[Stella says something incomprehensibly].

Stolas: For the last time Sable has retired! You can't use him for you revenge killings anymore!

[The scene jumps to Stolas out front on the phone with , squeezing a servant in his other hand. Imps are loading items into a van.]

Stolas: It will be there, shortly. Of course they're being careful!

Octavia: Dad, what's going on?

Stolas: Apparently, 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!
