Episode 15: Blowing out the stars

"Monster had come to Boy to scare him, as was the agreement between monsters and children, but when he arrived the worst had already happened and Boy had no want or need of fear. Monster found pity and wound his thick tail around Boy's ears to muffle the sound of sobbing Father from the bathroom below.

Boy named Monster, and Monster named Boy, and that was that."
