It seems like a totally gratuitous myth to tell people a giant rabbit comes round at night leaving candy in a haphazard way around the house... and the cover shows the bunny caught in the act. ↗
If everything you say gets laughed at...
then you become afraid of everyone...
and are no longer able to speak...
even knowing all that does is bother everyone...
Your heart...
....shuts down...
And your words die.... ↗
