Stolas sleeps peacefully in his bedroom before his alarm clock wakes him up at 7:00. It also shows the weather forecast as well as informing of a full moon. He smiles and sits up before puking next to his bed and shutting his alarm off. He picks up a note on his nightstand and reads it.

"Breakfast is on the table! I'll be back from work soon! 💜 Elizabeth"

Stolas sighs lovingly and happily as he starts to sing.

Stolas: Thank you to the butterflies in my stomach. I haven't felt this nervous since I was a little fluffy dumb nestling.

He covers himself with his blanket in nervousness before putting on his slippers.

Stolas: My daring do is half disguised. Behind the smile, my beak is grinding, ever minding, I swore I wouldn't dwell on the divorce, so for my own health, I'll remind myself...

He dances around with the blanket wrapped around him. He heads to his bathroom and turns on his bathtub, getting inside as his arm is still bandaged and healing from Striker's attack.

Stolas: That when I see her, I know that it won't feel so tough. I'll believe her, and not the voice that says I'm not enough.

He wets his hair as mascara runs down his face. He then starts to wash himself.

Stolas: No need for an arrangement, it can just be her and me, I'll set us free. How perfect it could be, when I see her tonight.

He combines two bubbles together before falling back into the water in bliss and splashing water outwards.

...

Lizzie gets the notification for the full moon and takes a deep breath.

Vickie wraps an arm around her as she sings.

Vickie: Full moon tonight? A pretty sight.

Blitzø joins in.

Blitzø: It's been awhile since he's begged for attention.

Lizzie shakes her head before shrugging them off as she walks off.

Vickie: Is she okay?

Blitzø: Heh, can't really say. She's getting by by avoiding our questions.

Blitzø looks concerned for her before lying on his couch.

Blitzø: So complicated, I hate when it's complicated, why do I always end up in situations that are complicated?

Vickie puts a hand on his shoulder, looking concerned as well.

Vickie: How about instead of getting in your head, we focus on my sister's situation instead?

...

Stolas goes out to his balcony.

Stolas: When I see her!

...

Lizzie holds Vickie's hand, holding it to her chest so she could feel her heartbeat.
