Chapter:

Panel 1: The parent's voice in the darkness saying, "How many times do I have to tell you you're not allowed cookies after you brush your teeth?" Panel 2: The kid saying, "They're not for me!!" But their words are already fading into nothing. Panel 3: The parent is replying but nothing can be read in their speech bubbles. Panel 4-5: The kids expression goes to a frown and disappears from their face. Panel 6: The kid's tiny silhouette hands over the cookie jar to the giant hand of their parent.
