Angst. Bruno Angst.
The night of Mirabel's ceremony was quiet. Isabela became less distant, Luisa, Camilo, and Dolores, Tio, and Tia were comforting her, because she was crying. Abuela was in her room, talking with Bruno.
"What is it, Mama?", Bruno asked.
"I...need you to see the future. And get back at me when you have the vision tablet.", Abuela demanded.
Bruno sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Mama, I-"
SLAP!!
Bruno felt a hand slap his face. Eyes wide, he saw his Mama mad with her hand in the air. Tears began to fall from Bruno's face as he was shaking.
"When I tell you something, do it.", Abuela said.
Bruno's face was saddened. Not to mention the headache he just had from revealing 5 visions in one go.
After seeing the tablet, he realized he didn't want to put his poor Mirabel in any more trouble than she probably will.
He was the outcast anyways. And he's Bruno. Everyone always assumes the worst. So, he let go of the tablet and walked out of his room.
Without telling Mama, he went next to Dolores' door and opened the painting, revealing his hideout from childhood. He's better off away from his family.
That night wasn't pleasant for him, because the man was in the middle of a very bad nightmare.
He dreamt that he was back in his vision cave. He saw his sisters and Abuela. They were telling him about how bad he is. That he doesn't matter. That he made the right choice by leaving. Then, he found himself trapped in an empty hourglass. And every single vision he's conjured since Bruno was 5 appeared in front of him. And he's made a lot of visions. As the visions played, sand began to fill. Before he lost sight, he woke up.
His eyes glowed green and illuminated the dark room. Feeling overwhelmed by his headache and the nightmare, poor Bruno began to cry. And he remained in the walls for 10 years...until a certain mariposa helps him out.
