Joy: I don’t see why no one will tell us anything. It’s weird, like there’s something they don’t want us to know. Couldn’t we have at least gone to that Council meeting or whatever with everyone else?

Nocturne: I’ve listened to enough of Dax’s speeches, thanks. Apparently everyone else is into being bored out of their minds and decided to go, but--

[loud crash from upstairs]

Holly: Did you guys hear that? What was it?

Cadence: Nick just -- didn’t want to come? He said he’s done dealing with old money families and their drama after putting up with his Mom’s family for the last few decades--

Holly: Aunt Cadence? Question. Are we old money?

Cadence: Great question. No idea.

Joy: [scoffing] If Grandpa Taz’s parents are from the Hollow, that means we’re something.

Prelude: So, this house is... not what I expected.

Nocturne: Right? It’s so bright in here--

Cadence: Y’all... this is one of Jefferson’s paintings.

Joy: What? No, it can’t be.

Cadence: I mean, it’s a reproduction, not an original, but this... is definitely one of his.

Joy: But the Hollow doesn’t have any trade with the outside world, there’s no way that they could have one of Uncle Jefferson’s paintings.

Holly: Aunt Cadence, are you sure if we should just be following this guy?

Joy: It’s fine, Holly.

Holly: I was talking to Aunt Cadence.

Cadence: Girls, please. It’s going to be fine. Your dad and me and your Aunt Nocturne have things under control--

Holly: This family? Have things under control? Yeah, okay.

Nocturne: Visiting Mom and Dad... in the Hollow?

Prelude: ...look, this trip is educational for the kids, so--

Nocturne: So you didn’t tell them--

Noel: [whispering to Joy] Are Mom and Mama gonna be mad we’re here?

Joy: Probably.

Prelude: ...are you sure you know where you’re going?

Cadence: When did I ever say I knew where I was going?

Nocturne: Well, you said “follow me” and took off walking. That definitely implies you knew where you were going. Never mind the fact that I think your exact words were “I’m the oldest, so I’m in charge.”

Cadence: When did I ever say--

Prelude: Okay, I know you did not just put my ten-year-old in charge. Look, I’m tired, I’m hungry, and I want to get in some air conditioning, so–

???: Tzuriel? God, is that you? And you’re still whining after all these years?

Prelude: Huh? No. Wrong guy. Name’s Prelude.

???: Oh, that’s – a relief, honestly. I was starting to worry my memory was going bad. I mean, my God, I swear, you look just like him, except–

Nocturne: Weren’t you just saying that you get to know everything because you’re the favorite kid or something?

Cadence: Uh, no, I was just saying I get to know more than you two because I’m the firstborn–

Prelude: That still doesn’t explain why Mom and Dad went to Forgotten Hollow–
