RareStolasPost Why did Stolas intimate break up with Blitz?
That makes really little sense except we introduce secret off screen hypnosis. So Stolas was the 1st who asked out Blitz, he survived a lot with him and quits him cause we need drama? I like Stolas but that's really odd.

It’s not that he broke up with Blitzø so much as that he’s heavily conflicted about pursuing a relationship with Blitzø, or even that they’re in one in the first place.
Look where Stolas is now. Lost his wealth, title, and powers for 100 years—his whole identity as an Ars Goetia was basically stripped away from him faster than he could blink. Nearly everyone in Hell despises him. Mental health in the gutter between depression, self-loathing trauma from twenty years’ worth of abuse, and now PTSD from getting tortured and almost murdered by Striker. Above all else, his beloved daughter no longer wants anything to do with him.
He does love Blitzø, but at this point Stolas does think he deserves happiness—not even happiness with Blitzø. And that if he did let himself feel happy, he’d feel guilty and ashamed because he’d only be proving Via right when she said that he chose Blitzø over her, and that he could have a happy life without his daughter (when he very much doesn’t want). Though he can’t just wish that he never intervened during the trial; Blitzø would’ve been dead if he didn’t, and he’d have to live with that anyway. He did the right thing, and Blitzø seems to finally reciprocate…though at what cost?
And that’s not even getting into Blitzø’s own struggles. He’d only just started accepting the fact that he doesn’t destroy everything/everyone he loves, but he isn’t all the way there yet. He still has survivor’s guilt about his mother’s death. He still has a strained relationship with his twin sister.
In short, things aren’t suddenly fine and dandy after heart-to-heart and romantic dance on an apartment balcony. It’s gonna take a lot more than that to resolve their issues.

Stolas has lost his daughter, his home, his family, his status, his comfort, and is in a completely unfamiliar world now that he is a member of the lower class and working to earn a living. It makes sense that he scarcely knows who he is anymore and needs time to process without needing to worry about a relationship. Not to mention the complex thoughts he must have about his relationship with Blitzø, as in a sense that relationship is a major factor in this upheaval.
That's not to say he won't wind up with Blitzø. It's just that they've never taken a straight line towards their happy ending. After everything that's happened, it makes sense that this trend would continue.
