[The episode opens to a shot of the exterior of Stolas's mansion at night, before cutting to the master bedroom where Stolas and Stella are asleep. A young Octavia's frightened voice can be heard from offscreen.]
Octavia (Young): (offscreen) Mummy! Mommy!
[Stola is roused from her sleep. She turns to Stella who has most of the blanket.]
Stola: *sleepily* Mmph. Via's calling us, Stella.
Stella: *sleepily, annoyed* You get up.
[Stola sighs and gets out of bed. She enters Octavia's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.]
Stola: Via? What troubles you, my owlet?
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* Mommy! Mommy!
[Young Octavia climbs down from her bed and runs into her mother's arms. Stola hoists her up to comfort her.]
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I had a dream! A really bad dream!
[Stola yawns and wipes away Octavia's tear, correcting her.]
Stola: A nightmare.
Octavia (Young): *sobbing* I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you or phen anywhere! You weren't there!
Stola: *rubs Octavia on the back comfortingly* There there, Via, it's okay. You're okay.
[Stola summons his grimoire to him telekinetically as she walks Octavia back to bed.]
Stola: When you're scared, and you don't know where we are you must remember...
[Stola's grimoire floats over to her. She telekinetically flips it open.]
Stola: No matter what happens to us, I will never be far away... from our special little starfire.
[Stola begins singing a lullaby to little Octavia.]
♫ It always seems more quiet... in the dark ♫
[Stola opens a portal above herself and Octavia. She looks up in awe of the beauty of space through the portal.]
Stola: ♫ It always feels so stark... how silence grows under the moon ♫
[Stola and young Octavia float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon.]
Stola: ♫ Constellations gone so soon ♫
♫ I used to think that I was bold ♫
[Walking across the moon, Stola leaves footprints in the dust.]
Stola: ♫ I used to think love would be fun ♫
♫ Now, all my stories have been told. Except for one... ♫
[Stola looks down at young Octavia, and she looks back with her large, curious eyes. Her gaze shifts to a pink glow to her side.]
Stola: ♫ As the stars start to align ♫
♫ I hope you take it as a sign that you'll be okay ♫
[A meteor begins its descent towards a giant, pink colored star.]
Stola: ♫ Everything will be okay ♫
[The meteor makes contact with the pink star, and begins to sink beneath the molten surface.]
Stola: ♫ And if the Seven Rings collapse ♫
[Multiple planetary bodies begin gravitating toward the pink star, including the moon that Stola and Octavia currently reside on, which eventually shatters into pieces as the star's gravity pulls on it.]
