This is a heartbreaking story about broken people yearning for parental figures and familial stability.

Starting with Krypto

Krypto good boy
Good boy had good family
Good family go boom
Good boy want new good family
Master to busy playing with bald man to make family

Kara cries herself to sleep every night in the orphanage. She misses her own family and wants a new one but nobody adopts her. Her stupid cousin is too obsessed with that bald guy to get married and qualify for adoption, hence she must help Krypto

Lois is always moving 1 billion miles per hour, and knows Superman is the only possible person she could start a family with. But he's too busy prancing around with the bald guy

Superman had his family destroyed twice, on Krypton and when the Kent's died. So to avoid the pain of losing his family a 3rd time he plays with the bald guy all day, trying to tap into his inner child to ignore the pain

The 3 come up with an incredible plan to open Superman's heart to pain. Krypto goes on a rigorous journey to learn the ways of romance, as a way to open up his masters heart to love

Krypto good boy

However a bunch of cats show up to stop this. Lois Lane #1 Lois is a witch, cats are associated with witchcraft. These cats were manifested by the narrative as a way to maintain the status quo, they're fighting against fate here

Krypto recognises him and his master share a heart. So if he opens his heart to love so will master

Krypto good boy

However like his mater, Kryptos ego made him think he's invincible, so his plan failed, and his heart will yearn for a family forever

He leaves his mater in rage, only to be punished for trying to break the universal status quo

Sad
