Character Information
A shawl that his grandmother left draped over a chair in the living room.
This is the first thing that Camilo takes. They don’t mean to, but later, when his grandmother asks him if he has seen it, he lies.
It happens quickly after that: his brother’s comb, their sister’s ribbon, a few pound coins from his father’s wallet, their mother’s necklace. Lip gloss from Isabela’s vanity. Too many arepas to count. Some work documents from their tio. One of Mirabel’s crocheting needles.
Casita makes a little place for Camilo to keep it all, under the stage in their room, but he can feel the house’s disapproval.
The stealing is nothing serious. It’s just a joke. Just a prank. Like everything else they do. He tells himself he’ll give it back one day, but it is better for him to keep it all in one place, right? They may have to leave again. (That’s what they tell themself when they feel guilty.)
It starts to grow.
Swiping a hair clip that a customer leaves on the counter in line in front of him at the supermarket. A shot glass from the Court. A bag of crisps from the market. A book from under the Acheron’s noses. There is a little thrill to it. It’s harmless, really. Nothing to worry about. So much has been taken from them, so why shouldn’t they take just a little something from other people? (That’s what they tell themself when they steal from other people.)
Besides, they help people all the time. Need someone tall? They can become someone who is over six feet. Someone small? Camilo can become a little fairy. Calm an upset kid? Camilo’s there as their favourite person. They were always helping--and they liked helping! That is their family’s whole thing. Everyone knows the Amazing Madrigals are so helpful and wonderful.
But sometimes, they want to do something for themself. Is that really so bad?
