Camilo P.O.V.
I was in the backyard training when I heard my crow call out to me. I put my sword down and walked over to him."what's wrong Saruko?" I ask. "Caw Caw! The master needs to speak to you, so get their as soon as possible! Caw! Caw!"he finished. "Why would the master need to speak to me? Is it something that I did or-NO! The master is not to be questioned! I will do what he said!" I thought to myself."Thank you for informing me. I will go right over there." I said as I walked away. Shortly after I reached the entrance to his estate. I took a deep breath." Here it goes."
   I arrive at the master's room and stepped in. I saw him sitting down drinking tea. I immediately got on one knee and bowed." Thank you for arriving here on such short notice my child." He said smiling."it's no problem master. I'm glad to see your doing well yourself."I said formally. Ever since I met the master I've highly respected him. He's always been patient and kind. Never quick to anger. "Thank you my child. That is deeply appreciated."he smiled warmly. " so why did you call me here? Not that it's a problem, I'm just curious."I asked."oh, of course. Well you see, I've recently been informed about your....background and family history, I'd like to discuss this with you." He said. My eyes widened." How did he find out?! The only two people that knew were Sanemi and Obanai. There's no way they would have told him! R-right?" I thought to myself."um... w-well what about my family do you want to d-discuss master?"I asked him trying my best to keep it together."It's not really your family's history I want to talk about, I'm quite curious on what happened between you and your family and what drove you to leave?"he finished. I tensed up. I hated talking about my family. I could never stop myself from getting emotional. I just wanted to forget what happened with them. But I didn't want to disobey the master who I so dearly respected. So I decided I would talk. "W-well you see....I loved my family more than anything....a-and I always tried to help everyone and put myself last. I had a pretty great life with supportive p-people. I-it was a lot of pressure though....My abuela Alma.... I tried so hard to get h-her approval and to make her p-proud but it was never enough.... I was never good enough...."I finished. I could feel myself starting to get emotional but I held back my tears not wanting to seem weak. The master had a very sad look on his face it looked like he felt sorry for me. It was hard to talk about this matter but I felt calm and secure around the master so I continued "A-anyway....There was and incident that hurt many towns people and the community it's self. I don't know why but they blamed it on me. A-and my entire family didn't even care to listen to what I h-had to say, they just neglected and verbally mistreated me. The p-people that I loved most b-betrayed me and I slowly started to stop loving them to. and that was the fact that hurt me most. I was so Alone. So that's w-why I left. I hate  them for what they did and I never what to associate myself with them again." I finished letting out a huge sigh."My child.... I'm so sorry that you went through all of that... please don't ever think you aren't good enough, the corps is where you belong and I will always be here to care for you."he said grabbing my hands. I could barely keep it together so I just let it all out. I couldn't bare to keep it inside anymore. "I hate them. I hate them so much for breaking our bond. I was s-so happy but t-they ruined that....I just want to forget them!"I said through sobs. The master pulled me into a hug."shhhh....Camilo, you don't hate your family, I know you don't."he said very calmly. After a good 3 minutes a sat up."w-what do you mean I don't hate my family?"I asked half stern half confused. He sighed." Because family is one of the greatest gifts of them all. They are the people who brought you into the world, who cared for you, who gave you love and attention because they cared for you. And never wished for your suffering. I can tell that they were your pride and joy. I understand that you are angry and frustrated with them, your not wrong to be, but despite all that, your connection with them will never be severed. Because they love you, and never wished for this outcome. You don't hate your family, neither do they hate you."he finished. I was so touched by his words. They were also true. My family was my pride and joy, and deep down I still love them."W-what if my abuela is right.... What if I a-am just a screw up who can't do anything?"I asked looking down."anyone who speaks Ill of you fears your insane talent. You are an amazing demon slayer and I can't wait to see what you will achieve."he said. "Thank you master. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this." I said wiping my eyes."Your welcome my child. If you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask."he said.
