A boy dressed as a robot is sitting next to a fairy. When the fairy mentions that she’s still in high school, I start to worry. She’s really drunk and I don’t like the way the robot is looking at her. The fairy gets up to dance and is really beautiful, even when she falls down the stairs. I run to save her but she’s back on her feet before I get to her. I notice that the robot is stuck on the sofa and start to relax. Nothing bad can happen as long as he’s trapped in that costume.
