Camilo: Aw, thank you, beautiful person! As for the question, yes I am happy. Except for sometimes... Okay, maybe a lot. I don't feel like I can tell anyone.
Abuela stays silent, not answering the question.
Julieta puts her head in her hands and sobs quietly as Agustín holds her close. It starts to rain at that moment.
Isabela tries to keep her perfect posture, acting like nothing is wrong.
Dolores lets out a small squeak nervously.
Luisa starts crying.
Mirabel sighs and shakes her head.
Antonio looks at the others, a sad look adorned on his face.
Me: Thanks, I appreciate it.
Abuela: With the loss of Pedro, I found it hard to live with myself. I don't want my grandkids or my children to have to live like how I did. I want them to have a normal life.
Felix: I feel like I'm not doing enough for my children, as much as I can. I want to help them as much as I can.
Julieta: I am tired each morning, trying to make food for the villagers to help them. I want to take care of my children, but it's hard when I'm busy all the time.
Pepa: It's hard keeping my emotions in check. If I'm sad, people will get mad because of the rain. But I need to be sad to help the crops and stuff. It's like I am not allowed to feel my own emotions, I'm just a robot to be controlled.
Bruno: I'm sick and tired of everyone saying mean stuff about my prophecies. It's not like I can control them.
Agustín: I agree with Félix. I want to help my daughters and wife as much as I can. I'm too clumsy.
Isabela: I try to be the perfect daughter everyone expects me to, keeping up the reputation. I don't even want to marry Mariano. I'd also prefer to wear something other than pink and purple.
Dolores: As for me, I'm just a shadow. I'm Isabela's shadow. Nobody notices me or acknowledges my presence.
Luisa: Sometimes I feel like I'm not strong enough, when I could be stronger.
Camilo: I feel like people only need me when I am other people, and don't actually need me for me.
Mirabel: I don't mind as much about not getting a gift, but I want to feel useful. I want to help, but everything I do is just useless.
Kamie comes back after putting Antonio to bed so he doesn't have to be apart of this conversation.
Me: That's everyone, I think.
Mirabel: What about you?
Me: Me? I don't- I don't need help. I - I am fine.
Mirabel: The person said if you need help, it's best to let it all out.
Me: Yeah, I'm sure they won't want to hear my problems. I have too much.
Mirabel: Okay. . . Then yeah, I think that's all of us.
Me: Wait! Before I post this, I just want to say... You don't have to call me 'Author'. You can call me J! Everyone does. (Except my family) Okay, now. Bye!
