Magnesium (noun): an alkaline earth metal and the eighth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. The free metal burns with a characteristic brilliant white light, making it a useful ingredient in flares.

There.
Hamilton Holt added the last bit of magnesium to the fire. He stealthily dodged away from the library in Grace's mansion. And suddenly, he felt that annoying discomfort in his chest called Guilt.
Guilt would drag you down, Guilt would prevent you from getting what you want, but mostly, Guilt would anger his father. It's best if Dad did not get mad.
Hamilton knew the Cahill kids and Alistair Oh were in there somewhere, but like a coward, he ran away. Then, there was a deafening boom. Chunks of debris and shards of glass rain down. He cupped his hands over his ears and continued running.
When he got back to the van, his family gave him a hero's welcome. As they drove off, Hamilton found himself staring at the smoldering ruins of the once magnificent mansion.
Magnesium, a Tomas clue, and it added fuel to the fire he hated so much.
As much as he hated himself for it, Guilt settled at the bottom of his heart.
