MIRABEL COULD HEAR HIM MUTTERING TO HIMSELF AS SHE got closer to the wooden door. She knocked, he must have frozen up and was hesitant to see who it was. She pushed it open and they made eye contact with each other, she gave a nervous smile.

"I know what you're here for, but I can't help you, Mirabel." Bruno said before sitting down on his chair looking at the floor. He has saw the dinner disaster, it wasn't her fault, he blamed himself for this.

"Please, Tío Bruno," she bends down at his chair and looks at him with begging eyes. "I just wanted to make the family proud of me. Just once." This seemed to catch his attention.

He turns his head to her and stares into her big brown eyes that seemed to be begging for an answer. "But if I should stop, if I'm hurting my family, just tell me." Her voice cracks at the end of her sentence, tears welling up in her eyes.

Bruno understood her, he understood what being the family's disappointment was like. "I can't tell you, because I don't know."

Mirabel stares at him, "I had the vision, the night that you didn't get your gift. Abuela worried about the magic, so, she begged me to look into the future. See what it meant, and I saw the magic in danger, our house breaking. And then, and then, and then," he whispers, "I saw you, but the vision was different, it...it would change. And there was no one answer. No clear fate, like your future was undecided, but I knew how it would look and I knew what everyone was gonna think, because I'm Bruno and everyone always assumes the worst, so.....I left."

"You left to protect me?" Mirabel questions, her chin quivers slightly.

Bruno glances away, "I don't know which way it'll go, but my guess.....the family, the encanto, and the fate of the miracle itself....well, it's all gonna come down to you."

"Or maybe I'm wrong!" He blurts out grabbing his nieces arm guiding her out to go back to her family. "Look, if I could help any more, I would, but that's all I know. Good luck, I wish I could've seen more." He shuts the door, he didn't mean to be harsh but she had to know not to come back down here unsupervised.

She suddenly breaks down his door, "have another vision!"

"Mirabel, no."

"Actually you could!" A new voice pipes up, the two turn around to see Antonio.

"The rats told me everything....don't eat that!" He says staring at his Jaguar who frowns.

"You can use my room! C'mon!" The small boy said grabbing Mirabel by her hand and tries to sneak his uncle into his bedroom.
