You nudged Camilo after breakfast once the table has been cleared and he looks at you "Is the invite to see your room still on?" You asked

"Of course it is," He answers with a face "Why would you ask that?"

"I don't know," You admit "Maybe at some point during the night you regretted it"

"I don't" He answers and turns to look at you "If you still want to see my room, we can go there after lunch"

"Cool" You nod "See you then" You smiled and waved before running after Mirabel who went off to do her chores

Pepa watches as her son watches you jog away, must be a coincidence

After lunch, Camilo grabs you by the wrist and drags you around Casita before you could gather the plates, it wasn't your turn to gather so he drags you away. Once you both stood infront of his room he turns to look at you, who had puffed your cheeks out again "What's with the face?"

"I wanted to help a bit"

"Wouldn't you rather see my room?" He teases

You cracked a smile "Alright show me your room then"

He opens the door for you and you stared in awe at his room, it looked completely different from what you were expecting but it made sense. The walls were decorated different, one spot was little duck drawing the other was just a regular blue painted patch, beside the patch was an orange colored bird design, all of his walls were like cut out mix matched with different wallpaper and paint colors and then over them was mirrors, each in different sizes and shapes, littering his room, in the middle of it was a bed, with mix matched sheets and pillows. It reminded you of Camilo, his whole room reminded you of him

"What do you think?" He asks as he sits on the couch you never noticed, until he sat on it, now that entered the room, all of his belongings were made to look blended into his walls and floor, there was a table, a couch, a bookshelf, a desk

"You're stuff" You said in surprise

"You can barely see them?" He offers you nod "Its weird, isn't it?"

You looked at him offended "I think It's cool"

He blinks "Seriously?"

You nod "Its very you" You began "And like hear me out, I get the mismatch design, cause you can shift to anyone your room walls and floor are all different things, I also get the chameleon furniture cause they blend in" You motioned to those and he smiles amused at how excited you looked "What I don't understand is the mirrors, They're the only ones that stand out, and they're so many, do you know why?" He looks down at his hands and you turn to look at him "Or you don't need to reply" You quickly take back your words

"No," He quickly defends "Uh, do you have a fear, Y/n?" he asks reaching to lead you to sit on the table infront of him

"Fear?" You asked and then nodded "Yeah, I don't like being alone, as you can tell yesterday it doesn't end well. Oh and anything that crawls and flies, I get so scared I freeze up. Why did you ask?"

"The mirrors are my way of stopping my fear" He explains and you inched closer to him as he continued "I can shift as you know, I have this fear that maybe one day if I keep shifting I'll forget what I look like, or maybe when I shift back I did something wrong, is my hair too long? Is my eyes right? Did I get my nose the same shape? Do I look like I did this morning?" He asks himself clasping his hands together "That's why I have mirrors, every morning I look at my mirrors and memorize what I look like for the day"

You reached out to hold his clasped hand "Camilo, I don't know if this will help, but it doesn't matter what you look like cause inside you're still Camilo, looking different won't change who you are"
