As camilo slammed the door he crossed his arms and leaned against it
Camilo sighed "Lorenzo I need a little help here, I'm probably talking to myself here..but I really gotta ask, are you really in the ground? Cause I feel you all around me.. are you here?.."
Camilo opened his notebook, flipping to a page in the back of his notebook, having a picture of him and Lorenzo before he left. Closing the notebook and throwing it onto his bed.
"Lorenzo, I'm tired of trying to be someone I'm not. I'm a bunch of broken pieces.. it was you who made me whole." Camilo put a hand up to his reflection, quickly pulling it away. everyday Abuela's staring at me, like all "hurry up get happy, move along." Forget about him."
"Because everyone's in denial, nobody wants to feel. They want me to smile and clap like a preforming seal. Ignored it for a while but now they've lost their minds for real.." Camilo looked around his room at he broken mirrors
"You wont believe the mess that we've become.." Camilo picked up the picture from before then held it close, for now what was the only thing that could remind him of Lorenzo.
"Your my home, my destination, I'm your clone, your 'strange creation'."
Camilo smiled and slightly laughed.
"You held my hand, and life was easy. Now jokes dont land.. and no one sees me..!" Camilo felt his eyes tearing up and he held the picture even closer.
"Lorenzo Is this it? Are you receiving? I want something to believe in.. or IM DONE." Without thinking he threw the picture, it landed on the floor.
"Take me where my soul can run!... or I'll be in my bedroom, wake me when I'm 21.." Camilo stared at another mirror, for a moment he watched his own smile in the reflection fade into a more forced, and faker smile, soon he just stopped the act completely, at this point not being able to smile at all.
"EVERYONES MOVING FORWARD, ACTING LIKE THEY DIDNT LOSE YOU AT ALL!" Camilo put his hands up to his face to wipe tears off
"Lorenzo won't you send a sign? I'm running out of hope and time.. No more playing Abuela's game, I'll go insane if things dont change..!" Camilo turned away from the mirror and leaned against a wall.
"Whatever it takes to make them say your name.." Camilo picked up the picture and sat back on the edge of his bed, tears still flowing down his face but he didnt mind it anymore.
Mirabel knocked on the door, she had heard everything he said. "Cam..? Are you alright..?"
(Extra: This is an Encato spin-off version of the song "Dead Mom" from Beetlejuice:The Musical, it makes sense. Lorenzo acted more like a parent to Camilo than his own parents did.
when Camilo says "they want me to smile and clap like a performing seal" he's referring to how he has to smile all the time, even when he doesnt want to, and how he is expected to entertain the entire town.
When he says "your my home my destination, I'm your clone your strange creation" he's talking about how he hears people calling him names around the town, and how he can shapeshift.
When he says "wake me when I'm 21" he means the age he is able to drink the pain that he feels away so he couldnt feel it anymore.
(legally because were I live now 21 is the legal age to drink-)
When he says "Are you really in the ground, cause I feel you all around." He meant he still felt like Lorenzo was there even though he wasn't anymore, knowing he was dead.
When he says "take me where my soul can run" he means that if he ever decides, he will will commit su1cid3 if he doesnt find a meaning to live anymore)
