This cute kid from Pluto uses his storytelling powers to keep it together, while working to establish an Earthian identity.
He tries squeezing affection from the male side of the species, which is difficult under the circumstances. There's this fight going on... anyway, the usual guy thing.
Although the police show some kindness, ultimately it's the sisters of the road who keep him safe enough to keep doing his research.
He finally reconnects with a father archetype (the church), plus establishes a long distance relationship with a mother figure.
Individuation achieved. A human is born. Time for breakfast.
Dawn really liked this story. I told her it reminded me of Pinocchio, also about a boy who got creative with the truth while seeking his own humanity.
