"Is it evil to take what one wants, to satisfy hunger even if doing so will cause another suffering? What some would call evil, I believe to be an appropriate response to a harsh and unfair world." the curly-haired teen uttered to himself, even if the intention was more to reach his sister's ears. Hungrily, like a jaguar stalking his prey he feasted, and, amused,  followed her every move. 

Her every turn and shift in her slumber, every exhalation or small shiver due to the chilly summer wind in his brother's room, her chest moving up and down as she breathes, all seem striking to him. He loved when he saw her breathing! If anything he would watch her breath in her sleep for hours, in this peaceful manner. Her eyes were a bit red and puffy, probably because of the crying, but no matter to that. Once his plan will be finished she will never cry again. She will understand that he's all she needs to be happy and the rest won't matter. At last not anymore. 

He felt a bit bad for drugging her, just like he did with his mother and brother, but it was for her own good. Besides, he never had an opportunity to see her this close, to touch her, to feel her bronze skin. He took a straw of her curly hair brushing it against his nose and face taking a deep inhale. 

She smells divine! It reminded him of the night he sneak inside her wagon, feeling all of her dresses, lingerie, and skirts, objects that touched her bare skin, that had her alluring scent on them. He was nuts with happiness that night! Lowering his head to her level he kissed her forehead, she was safe now, no need to worry. Moreover, he has work to do, retreating from  Antonio's room he passed into his own mirror realm where he had hidden the candle. 

Unusual how no one noticed that the "miracle" that gives the Madrigals their powers was missing? But then again wasn't that the plan? For the mysterious murderer to preoccupy the good deed makers until he settles all into motion? He almost was disappointed that his family was so dull, so full of fools, almost. Fools are cute and are easy to manipulate. They always let themselves be controlled by a few tears and a sentimental feeling of obligation for any poor in need soul. 

That was always how Camilo dodged bullets, people trough he was too dumb to be dangerous, they never trough of him as a threat, reason why they never question where he was when the ring leader was killed. And why would they? He was a Madrigal, a good deed angel who pledge to serve his community, and he did, as long as he could milk them alive afterward. He always got his way by what he did. By babysitting, he managed to learn the secrets of every family in Encanto, where they keep their values and what were their limits. If they were soft or easy to manipulate, if they would be dumb enough to give their life if one of their parasitic leech of a child would die or be kidnapped. That's how he manipulated Dolores to help him as well, by threatning to reveal the Gusman's secrets, by hurting her beloved love interest. He had every blueprint of their house, he know where anything was placed, he know the slightest misplaced item. And since he could be anyone he wanted, no one stopped him from obtaining anything. 

Not that it interested him, material stuff didn't matter, it was more to entertain himself. He was fascinated by how they acted, sadness with every valuable recollection lost, like a memory from a deceased relative,  tears, anger, grieve. It amused him, he didn't understand it. Altogether it all was pointless in the end. Why cry over it? He never felt that, a reason to which even his mother's outbursts and panic attacks didn't make sense to him. As he grow old it becomes annoying. But he had to deal with her, cuz she was his mami, and he was Camilo Madrigal, a momma's boy. Or at last, it was more profitable like that.

Reaching under his orange  chameleon themed bed he pulled out the candle, he had been studying it intensely for the last couple of nights when the Madrigal sisters and mother were out, the men were working in their place, Mirabel looked after Antonio and his hermana was buzzy simping for Mariano.
