WILLOW is sitting down, curled in AZLYN's lap while dipping oreos in pickle juice.

WILLOW
I hate myself.

AZLYN glares at WILLOW and throws popcorn at her.

JUPITER
Hey! No food on the couch! [rushes over]

STYX is sitting on the other couch.

STYX
That's what you're worried about? Not the fact that our sister is buried in grief?

JOURNEY
Oh my god, guys! Focus!

HADES
Fuck off. [rolls eyes]

LUNA
Language. [stern look]

MERCURY
What movie do you wanna watch, Willow?

ASPEN puts in How To Train Your Dragon.

LUCA AND LILITH
It's her favorite movie.

They are both sprawled across the floor at HADES feet.

VESPER
Here, Sissa. [gives favorite blanket]

VENUS
This would be the perfect time to make a blanket fort, ya know? Before the movie starts.

Everyone looks at WILLOW. WILLOW genuinely smiles.

HADES
Well, would you look at that? [takes a sip of his drink]

WILLOW
[sits up] What?

AZLYN
That's the first time you've smiled since the accident. [throws hands around her sister]

JOURNEY
We've missed your smile, Cookie.

STYX
We've missed you.

WILLOW's eyes widen.

WILLOW
I've missed me too.
