I think Hugo has a birthday curse were something goes terribly wrong, so I have this scene in my head were Rapunzel just like-
" Hugo, I heard your birthday is coming up. What do you want to do for it?"
Hugo " A small celebration were everyone can stay safe and nothing to go wrong."
Everyone would just be like why and also what does he mean were nothing goes wrong.
Rapunzel speaking people's thoughts " What do you mean nothing to go wrong?"
Hugo " I have a birthday curse were something goes wrong."
Raps " care to explain? "
Hugo " Gladly. So I was the only orphan to know my name and birthday, I was given to the orphanage the day I was born, anyway, the curse started on my 4th birthday with the only 2 people that actually cared about me left, then on my 5th birthday I left the orphanage after the other kids there bullied me, my 6th b'day I was working with the 2 people who left got separated from one and the other left me, my 7th b'day physically tortured cus of old Ivgarian laws, 8th b'day I almost drowned, 9th b'day I was kidnapped, 10th b'day I was terribly beat up for a while, 11th I almost got exploded, not fun, 12th got tortured again, 13th went to jail, 14th got stabbed a few times, 15th went to jail again, 16th got thrown out a window a broke many bones, 17th got shot twice one in the shoulder the other in my leg, 18th got poisoned, and 19th hot air balloon went wrong then I continued falling off a cliff and had tried and catch myself only to severely injure my right arm then falling several feet to the ground. So maybe it's best if we don't do anything."
