Plot
The moon, painted with a smiling face hangs over a park at night. A young couple walking past a fence learn on a railing and look up. The moon smiles. They embrace, and the moon's smile gets bigger. They then sit down on a bench by a tree. The moon's view is blocked, causing him to frown. In the last scene, the man fans the woman with his hat because the moon has left the sky and is perched over her shoulder to see everything better.

gollark: You just need to make it not something people will think of as human, somehow.
gollark: I don't think it's some sort of neat one-dimensional thing.
gollark: It does this sort of thing without being recognizably human enough for people to care, too, so you can happily enslave GPTs and nobody will complain!
