(𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫!𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨) damiano had scrolled through the theater listings quickly, too quickly, and saw a movie called "beneath the sugar moon." sounded cute, whimsical… maybe about candy and dreams? definitely safe for his 7-year-old little sister, right?

he was so proud of the plan. he got you dressed up in your favorite hoodie, let you get popcorn and gummy bears, and even bought matching slushies. you were both buzzing with excitement as the lights dimmed.

but the moment the screen lit up with eerie music, pale forests, and a girl whispering to ghosts, damiano realized with dread– this was NOT a kids’ movie.

good job, damiano.

he slowly turned to see you gripping your snack bucket, eyes wide and lip trembling. then the first scary jump-scare came… and you just about jumped out of your seat.

damiano immediately panicked. he whispered to you. "oh no, oh no. it's okay, baby. it's okay." he tried to cover your eyes, your ears, offered to buy you three happy meals if you’d just stop crying. he was ready to scoop you up and run out of that theater.

"i don't like this movie, dami." you cry out.
