While cloud watching, Trill finds himself experiencing a creative block. Can Daisy convince him to take a well needed dose of perspective, or will he slip further into mental blockage and ruin the picnic?

On a bright and sunny day, Daisy and Trill lounge on a picnic blanket adorned with remnants of a shared meal. As they gaze at the sky, Daisy, smoking, sees whimsical shapes of various animals in the clouds. However, Trill, more analytically, responds with scientific cloud names, hinting that something is wrong with his imagination. Noticing Trill's unusual demeanor, Daisy asks him what is wrong. Trill confesses to going through a creative block, and then Daisy offers a joint labeled "PERSPECTIVE." He informs her that cannot indulge because he doesn't smoke, but she surprisingly admits to him that she doesn't smoke either and that shes actually on her 15 minute break from work. The scene, initially set on a picnic blanket, takes an unexpected turn when revealed to be in a parking lot behind Daisy's workplace. With a minute left in Daisy's break, Trill proposes rapping. A beat drops, and a landline telephone acts as a makeshift microphone. As Trill gears up, Daisy interrupts, signaling the end of her break. Trill accepts gracefully, and the phone retracts. Daisy commends Trill's effort, expressing contentment in assisting him in taking a step back. Trill, now cleaning up, experiences a visible shift as Daisy walks toward the building. The clouds, once mere shapes, transform into animals, visually representing Trill's newfound perspective.—Evan H.
