    Summary

    There is a maze of mirrors inside Camilo's room.

    It wasn't always there.

    Bruno is trying to find out why and when it appeared, Mirabel is trying to find a way through, and Camilo is doing his best not to crack. With so many reflections staring back at them, things are easy to overlook, and mistakes are made.

    Summary

    “You can’t always make people smile, manito,” Dolores tells him while gently stroking his curls. “Sometimes, they need to be sad. Like you are right now.”
    “No, I’m not,” Camilo says, sniffing.
    “Yes, you are.”
    “No, I’m not!” Squirming, Camilo tightens his small hands into fists and inhales deeply, just like Pepa has taught them. “Clear skies, clear skies. See!”

    Summary

    Something unspeakable happens to Camilo Madrigal. The other Madrigals can tell something is off, and that their ball of sunshine has dimmed to a worryingly flickering ember.

    Camilo thinks if he can pretend it never happened, then things will go back to normal. But danger lurks nearby, haunting him, infecting him like a parasite, and eventually it will tire of playing cat-and-mouse.

    His family seeks to protect him before their sun is extinguished for good.

    Summary

    “Ren,” Makoto sternly interrupts him. “Slow down for a second. The only thing I’ve been giving him is water.” 

    Ren’s rumbling thoughts come to an abrupt halt. 

    “Pardon?”

    “Akechi isn’t drunk. He can’t be drunk unless he’s gotten alcohol from somewhere else, though he seemed very sober to me whenever I saw him.”

    “Then his water is spiked,” Ren lamely explains, because the implications of what Makoto just said and the sheer amount of possibilities unfolding inside his brain at neckbreaking speed are terrifying. 

    or: A drunk Akechi translates to a shameless and touchy Akechi. Ren finds that out by himself.
