One morning, Alma had opened the doors to the Casita and ushered her 7-year old triplets to play with the other kids.
It didn't take long for the three to come back with Bruno in tears, Pepa in anger, and Julieta bringing out cookies for the three.
"Mi niños. Qué pasó?", Alma asked.
"A bunch of kids were being jerks!!! It was Hernando and his grupo de estúpido idiota!! They pushed Brunito and he fell into a ditch, his leg was sprained. So I rained granizo on them and they left squealing like pequeña bebé!!", Pepa said with pride, anger, and sadness all in one. She had a thunder cloud under her as fainted sounds of thunder could be heard from Alma's room.
"I-I...I don't know why people hate me. Is it because of my Gift? All I did was tell Hernando that his cat was going to leave him for another owner and now I'm the town's joke.", Bruno cried with a pout.
Alma tsked and placed her hand on her son's cheek. Oh, how he looked so much like her Pedro.
"Listen, niños. No matter what the future throws at you three. No matter whoever gets in your way and tries to separate you three. Never forget how much you three love each other. Usted está y familia Madrigal. You are each other's rock and foundation. Remember that.", Alma told them.
47 years later, in the walls, Bruno jolted awake from the dream that was a distant memory, his eyes were glowing green and it faded. As tears fell from his face, Bruno wondered where did it all go wrong? Why did his Gift separate the familia? Why did they even ask him to see their future.
And most of all
Why is he even a part of the family?
