He was six and could tell the weather. He made sure his mother knew when to take her umbrella out. She squeezed him painfully tight.
By ten they all knew he wasn't normal. His father didn't touch him.
He was fifteen and falling apart. He opened the door before his saviours could knock, his bag packed. He dreaded the jolt in his gut and blurting the wrong things-- not sunshine or rain but death, leering and bloody. His mother in the bath and everything red; Father with his gun, face wet. He left.
No one asked any probing questions at all.

The little boy with the bright copper hair stands in the garden, frowning. He presses the button on the cheap camera and it makes a dull click.
They shimmer above like spirits, stretching to an infinity he can see if he shuts his eyes. They aren't dangerous yet and he wants to take a nice picture so Mummy can't pretend he's lying. She is inside, crying on the phone to Uncle Ran. He knows this, just as he knows that he will never once see his father.
Angels dart away from the camera, and the sky is blue and endless.
