// I thought I mentioned this in his bio, but apparently not?

During the time Apollo lost his vision, he was with a foster family. They were—really good. They really wanted to give a home to a child & they loved Apollo, & Apollo loved them. They wanted to adopt him. It was like a dream come true.

They weren’t prepared to deal with their child getting sick. They weren’t prepared to deal with a kid constantly crying because his eyes hurt, nothing looks right, he can’t see. Not to mention, it rattled them that Apollo might have MS or an autoimmune disease.

Apollo picked up on their worry and stress, which affected his emotional/mental state, and tried to internalize everything just so they didn’t worry. Besides, he figured it would all blow over soon and he’d have a family. They sent him back to foster care after deciding they weren’t fit to take him in. :|
