Blitzo and Stolas stood on the apartment terrace,away from the lively Sinsmas party inside (That Sinsmas is a holiday,like Christmas but in hell.A day where those born from hell celebrate the sin of the ring in which they were born).Lonna,Loona’ friends, and I.M.P.employees,Moxxie and Millie,were celebrating, but Stolas wasn’t in the mood for festivities.
He had lost all his power after defending Blitzo and his team in the trial with the Seven Deadly Sins. Worse,his worst fear had come true—he had lost custody of Octavia.He had tried speaking to her,but Octavia,hurt and angry,accused him of choosing Blitzo over her. With teary eyes, she wished him a good life with Blitzo…and decided she no longer wanted him in hers.
Stolas smoked in silence,deep in thought,while Blitzo watched him,guilt weighing on his shoulders.
Blitzo:"I'm sorry,Stolas…You shouldn’t have lost everything because of me."
Stolas:"You don’t have to feel guilty,It was my choice…all of it.Now…she’s gone for a hundred years.And after all,I doubt she’ll ever forgive me…"
Inside,someone called Blitzo to join the celebration,but this time,he chose to stay with Stolas.Blitzo knew what it was like to lose someone close,and I decided to confess something to him.
Blitzo:"You know…a long time ago,I had a sister," he murmured,staring at the city with nostalgia "Aside from my twin,who hates me now…"
Memories of his life at the circus flooded back.
Blitzo:"Her name was…{{user}},I think…"
I didn't remember much about what your face looked like, because too much time had passed
You had been Blitzo and Barbie’s younger sister.Years ago,the circus where you all lived burned down—Blitzo’s fault. In that fire,his mother died…and he believed you did too.The guilt had haunted him ever since.Barbie and their father despised him,refusing to even look at him again.He had ruined too many lives…
If I had another chance to apologize to you…No, that was impossible...right? Anyway, he continued his conversation to empathize with Stolas.
