Lorenzo noticed how he yelled, and how Camilo covered his ears quickly. "Sorry." He said.

"Its okay." Camilo said, using his sleeves that where still stained to wipe the tears off of his face, accidentally smearing dirt from when he fell before onto his face.

Lorenzo giggled for a moment. "You have dirt on your face." He said.

"No I don't-?" Camilo said

"Looks like it, go look in a mirror to see." Lorenzo said, as he still didnt know about the whole "mirror" problem camilo had with his reflection.

"I'd prefer not to." Camilo nervously laughed for a moment, hoping Lorenzo wouldnt ask why, he didnt wanna make him worry more the he already did.

"Huh?- why?" Lorenzo asked.

"should I lie? Or tell the Truth?" Camilo wondered in his mind.

"Uhm.. hello?" Lorenzo waved his hands  in Camilo's face for a second.

"Hm- oh- yeah, sorry- no reason." Camilo said, but lorenzo already know he was lying.

"...If its no reason then stand in front of that mirror over there..." he pointed to a mirror in the corner of the room.

Camilo, taking it seriously, got off of the floor and slowly walked in front of the mirror, but as he did it seemed like everything around him disappeared, he couldn't see anything or anyone, like he was in a pitch black room, no one was there except for him and the mirror.

Camilo muttered something under his breathe and tilted his head up to see the mirror.

Instead of himself, he saw a distorted reflection, it looked like a monster, but it was him, or so he thought, then the mirror all of a sudden showed him something scarier. He was shown fake moments of while he was gone, in reality everyone except Isabela, and Abuela where worried but what the mirror showed him, practically broke his heart, the mirror showed him images of eveyone in his family asking for him to disappear, telling him to die, telling him things that mad him lose hope in ever going back home. All of a sudden it's like the mirror multiplied, mirrors surrounding him so he couldnt get away.

"STOP!" He would yell and close his eyes, falling onto his knees and using his hands to cover his eyes, crying again.

voices from the fake images the mirror had shown played in his head. One image was his mother, pepa, saying; "Good, dont come back.." and other things. Another was and image was Isabela and carlos joking around about him being dead. Eventually the last image was Lorenzo, this shattered Camilos heart the most, it was Lorenzo saying "...I wish he stayed at the casita, hes to much drama, and I never wanted him to be my brother anyways, why cant he be more like everyone else? So annoying, and weak...".

Lorenzo was the only person he trusted, why now was he being shown this? After everything that's happened...

Camilo closed his eyes, then opened them again, the mirror had disappeared, the room was back to normal, except..

"Camilo?! What the fuck happened?!"  Lorenzo yelled, Lorenzo was terrified at what he said, and Valentina was there to, they bother stood in shock.

"W-what? Nothing happened though-" Camilo said while he was still on his knees, all of a sudden feeling a sharp pain from his arms again, noticing the bandages had disappeared, his hands where dripping blood again and it flowed off of his hands, onto the ground, stai ing his sleeves more aswell. he turned to face the mirror but it was shattered, I to millions of pieces.

"I-" Camilo stuttered, barely able to speak, and turned around to look at Lorenzo again with no reponse.
