*3rd person pov*

The scene opens with a shot of a galaxy, with Stolia narrating over it.

Stolia: "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."

Stolia: "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* "Mommy, can we go see it someday?"

Stolia: "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, Stolia's face, and a meteor shower. The starfall is "today". She hops down a hallway putting on her boot.

Octavia: "Hey, mom!"

She looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but she isn't there.

Octavia: "Mom? Mom's?"

She sees an open foyer door, we hear Stolia's voice coming through it.

Stolia: "Yes, I know!"

The scene jumps to Stolia out front on the phone with Stella, squeezing a servant in her other hand. Imps are loading items into a van.

Stolia: "It will be there, shortly."

Stolia: "Of course they're being careful!"

Octavia: "Mom, what's going on?"

Stolia: "Apparently, Gabe can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of his possessions-"

Gabe is yelling something incomprehensibly in response through the phone as she speaks.

Stolia: "What? No! I'm not turning her against you- Yes, Gabe!"

Gabe: *Through the phone* "-never have to see your fucking face again!"

Octavia: "Mom?"

Gabe: *Through the phone* "Everyone-"

He continues to yell incomprehensibly.

Octavia: "This is going to be done before tonight, right?"

Stolia: "What? Oh. I hardly think so. Knowing Gabe, 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."

Gabe: *Through the phone* "What?! What did you just tell them to do?!"

Suddenly Stella throws an object with blinding speed into the van, creating a loud crash with many things breaking.

Stella: "Strike bitch!"

Octavia: "But, tonight was supposed to-"

Stolia: "Darling, can we not talk about this now? Gabe's being a real B-I-T-C-H."

Gabe: *Through the phone* "What does that even mean-"

More incomprehensible yelling is heard from Gabe's end.
