jinx’s favorite movie is lilo & stitch. she first saw the movie when she was 7 years old after vi stole the dvd from some random store on a whim. they would watch it on an almost daily basis together - jinx saw herself in lilo as well as stitch, and vi related to nani, for obvious reasons. the movie became a huge source of comfort for both of them. after jinx befriends lux, she insists on watching it with her during several of their sleepovers.
however, when their world gets turned upside down and vi goes to jail, the CD gets lost amidst all the chaos. even when she discovers piracy, jinx refuses to watch it again, because it’s too painful. but on an especially bad night, she goes over to lux’s. nothing lux does seems to really make jinx feel better, though, so lux decides to take a chance and plays the movie (not via piracy, unfortunetly. she finds it on a legal streaming site. also, she asks jinx first, to make sure it’s alright). despite crying the entire way through, jinx does feel a bit calmer. she slowly starts finding comfort in the movie again, especially while watching it with lux.
when vi gets out of jail, things are hard and awkward and healing takes time, but one day, when vi is particularly upset, jinx starts the movie, and they watch it together, just like old times. they end up finally properly talking about things as the credits roll
(bonus: lux has bought jinx a stitch plushie that jinx cherishes with all her heart)
