Have we met before?
General, how could we have met before?
I remember the person who told me about the fireflies had a tear mole by her eye. I remember her voice. I remember every single word she said. I remember her every move. If she appears before me, I want to ask her if she still remembers me...I want to tell her right now: These past three years, she has never left my mind. I want to ask her if that arrow startled her. I want to ask her if the injury on her shoulder still hurt. I want to ask of if she’s like me—in her dreams, does she see the forest from that night?

Hi, I saw on your post /668440219491729408 that you were wondering about the meaning of that Selfie scene. Eliza was blowing a kiss that was supposed to be for Freddy, but Henry thought it was for him. So after Henry caught Eliza's kiss, he tried to recover from embarrassment by making a fist pump to hide it :)
Ahh I see! Poor Henry- he thought her kiss was for him but then saw Freddy catch it as well and then figured it was for him 🥺 Thank you for explaining it :)

It turns out the cookies are real — sort of.
They are baked at the home of Lara MacLean, who has been a “puppet wrangler” for the Jim Henson Company for almost three decades. MacLean started as an intern for Sesame Workshop in 1992 and has been working for the team ever since.
The recipe, roughly: Pancake mix, puffed rice, Grape-Nuts and instant coffee, with water in the mixture. The chocolate chips are made using hot glue sticks — essentially colored gobs of glue.
The cookies do not have oils, fats or sugars. Those would stain Cookie Monster. They’re edible, but barely. “Kind of like a dog treat,” MacLean says.
Before she reinvented the recipe in the 2000s, the creative team behind “Sesame Street” used versions of rice crackers and foams to make the cookies. The challenge was that the rice crackers would make more of a mess and get stuck in Cookie’s fur. And the foams didn’t look like cookies once they broke apart.
Cookie has been portrayed since 2001 by David Rudman, who took over the role from Frank Oz. Rudman’s right hand moves the mouth, which is eating, and his left hand holds the cookies. Both work in concert to break the cookies, which means they have to be soft enough to fall apart.
Rudman said soft cookies are best, adding, “The more crumbs, the funnier it is. If he eats the cookie, and it only breaks into two pieces if it’s too hard, it’s just not funny,” he said. “It looks almost painful. But if he eats a cookie and it explodes into a hundred crumbs, that’s where the comedy comes from.”
MacLean has perfected a recipe that is “thin enough that it’ll explode into a hundred crumbs,” Rudman said. “But it’s not too thin that it’ll break in my hand when I’m holding it.”
Not every (human) guest realizes that the cookies aren’t meant to be eaten. Adam Sandler appeared on an episode and decided to share in the muppet's delight by spontaneously eating a cookie with him on set.
“As soon as the cameras cut, he was like, ‘Blech!' ” MacLean said.
