Things are tough, you're feeling worn out, or whatever the case, you're depressed. You need help or someone else thinks you do anyway.

2. abandoned.
You were left behind by everyone you hold dear and now you're forced to see how well they've adjusted, how happy they all are while you're screaming inside.

You're being broken up with and they won't reconsider... Damn.

6. separated.
For some reason, you've been separated from the other person for a long time.

7. kidnapped.
You've been held captive for how long now? Maybe they've been torturing you even, using your blood to write ransom notes, threatening to cut off fingers to send next, etc. Rescue is on the way though, right?

8. beaten up.
Just because someone didn't like you or maybe they wanted something you had, whatever the case is, you're coming home sporting some nasty wounds and bruises.

3 - He's not doing too well....

[sandinmyhair]

[The others don't notice things as well as Mirabel does. So it's not surprising that nobody seems to spot that Bruno seems to be... slowing down. He rises later and goes to bed earlier, he's often found resting, he scarcely talks anymore and when he does his voice is even quieter than usual and occasionally breathless.

It only becomes obvious when one day Casita becomes... agitated. Various fixtures attempt to point her toward the mezzanine where all the doors stand calmly glowing, toward a lump of green fabric and hair, still and silent on the floor.]

[nonmagical]

[She's noticed Bruno seems more tired than usual. Mirabel isn't sure why, but one day, she noticed Casita getting upset as well. She follows all the signs, to where the house is pointing her to go...

... and she finds Bruno, on the floor.

Panic rises in her chest as she rushes to him, trying to shake him awake.]

Tio Bruno?! Tio Bruno, wake up!!

[sandinmyhair]

[It takes a small while. He forces his eyes open, looking up at her. For a moment he looks very puzzled and whispers wearily,]

What'm I doing on the floor?

[He looks a little ashen and his eyes don't seem to want to focus.]

[nonmagical]

You were unconscious... let's get you to a couch. Can you try standing?

[She's going to try to help him to his feet, staying under his arms as support.]

[sandinmyhair]

[His legs don't seem to want to work. Come to think of it, a lot of his body doesn't want to work after he manages to prop himself against the wall. He's too tired. So very tired.]

Can we just... stay here for a minute? [His eyes fall shut again.] Just for a bit.

[nonmagical]

[He looks really bad. Mirabel wants to go get her mom, but she's afraid to leave him for a even a second.]

Okay. Okay we can stay here a minute.

[She presses a hand to his forehead, checking for a fever. Anything that would explain what's going on.]

How long has this been going on...?

[sandinmyhair]

[He's not fevered, but when she touches him she can feel that his pulse is racing. He's short of breath and when he speaks his words are slurred together.]

'S'never been this bad... Felt... some'ing was wrong... weeks ago, but... 's'gotten worse.

[nonmagical]

And mamá's food hasn't done anything for it?

[That's... really alarming.]

[sandinmyhair]

[He gives a faint, rueful smile.] Some things Juli can't cure.

[He doesn't want to burden Mirabel with this knowledge, but... well, he's lived his whole life by the words 'forewarned is forearmed.' So he asks the question he's been asking occasionally ever since having returned to normal life.]

Which is worse? Being told about some'ing in... the future or... finding out when it happens?
