the orchestrations for the scene where pete gets murdered is titled "Having Pete for Dinner"

the saxy guy is referred to as the oiled up, muscular Sax Guy

secret comes out feels implied to be a performance by the band?, which would explain the titz out david

"at the end of the adventure, david put michael to bed (like a father would after a car ride home at the end of the night)"

also "david gives michael a paternal smile and lets go"

"alan and edgar burst out laughing as kids do about sex" also the word boning is underlined for emphasis

pete is weirded out that david knows his name when they interrupt the boys trying to snack on michael

lucy noticed star is "outside of the group" and "connects with star along the way" when going to make post-vampire-murder breakfast

after michael asks star what so bad abt david bc they seem to get along well enough we get "star considers this. he's not wrong."

after skip to the good part, they snuck in "lucy is the most hopeful she's been in ages" in the transition

the boys are described as descending on pete like a pack of hyenas

⬆️ david is also referred to as having the devil in his eyes when he turns to the audience

"David clocks this information." after michael says his dad never got around to teaching him guitar

Marko "noodles" on a guitar

"Star is charmed by him, dammit" when michael is doing his silly lil' lighter dance during hurt a little

i spent so much time / believing all the lies / to keep the dream alive / now it makes me sad / it makes me mad at truth / for loving what was you

It’s that he’s a lying, manipulative control freak who intended to weaponise Lucy’s love for her sons (the very quality he admired in her!) and put her in a position where she couldn’t say no to him.

For Sam they are comic book villains, nothing but monsters with no humanity. That’s why it’s so easy for him to jump the gun on killing Marko, he isn’t the least bit human to him.

To Lucy they are kids headed down the wrong path. She doesn’t know they are vampires for the majority of the time, she just sees them through Micheal leaving the house all the time at night. As much compassion as this woman has I don’t think she ever hated them, she just saw them as struggling kids like her own son. She spent time with Max, so they aren’t monsters to her, she sees their humanity more than their monster side. They are just bad people, but not monsters.

“I think any parent, no matter how bad their child behaves, and how bad the path they go down, they will always love their child. David’s not literally my child, but I think I, you know, that’s how I treat it.”
