Screwball's last night with both of her children before Piccolo went to live with her paternal grandparents, who were more than willing to take in their oldest grandchild but refused to extend the invitation to baby Vertigo, leaving the siblings to be separated. Vertigo had a bit more time with Screwball until she was able to find adoptive parents, relieved when old friends wanted to become the guardians of the baby in an open adoption.
Piccolo doesn't really understand what's going on, why Mama keeps crying, or why she has to go live with Meemaw and Papaw. All she wants is to stay with her baby sibling and Mama, but all she can do is do what she's told and be a good girl.
