It was after dark in the casita.

Everybody was snoozing away in their beds.

Bruno slept in his room. He could slumber anywhere in his vision room actually. Most of the time, Bruno would sleep where he doesn't go up the long stairs.

Bruno tosses and turns on the sands. He mumbles in his eyes closed.

———————————————————————————

Bruno awakens himself. He expresses his confusion. "What-what is happening?" Bruno asks himself. He started scrolling through the forest. Bruno browsed the area. He was perplexed. "Am I dreaming?" Bruno inquires himself again.

Just out of nowhere, another voice calls to him.

He got startled.

"Bruno!" The man's voice called.

He adjusted his long green ruana. Bruno caught someone's summon. He stared at the silhouette man. Bruno did not see that coming. He became quizzical. "Are you the one who's calling on me?!" Bruno asked.

The silhouette man reveals himself. He wore a white shirt with a pair of khaki pants. His shoes matched his pants. He has black hair like Bruno's. He smiles sweetly at him.

Bruno seems to be overwhelmed. He blinks on his eyes. Bruno have no idea what occurred to himself.

"Your mama hasn't quit speaking to me." He added, mentioning. "I see you since you are just born with your hermanas. Oh look at you now. You really are just like me." He aforesaid with his big puppy eyes.

Bruno gets wide-eyed. "Papa?" He whispered.

Then, the young woman with big green glasses arrives in his dream.

"Abuelo?" She wonders.

Bruno glances at his sobrina. "Mirabel?!" He exclaims confusingly.

She encounters her tio. Mirabel was bewildered herself. "Tio Bruno, what is going on? Why is Abuelo Pedro here in Encanto?" She inquired.

Bruno shrugs. "I don't know, Mirabel." He added, wondering. "How did you get here in my dream?" Bruno asked her.

"What dream?" She asks her tio.

"A dream that your Abuela couldn't see, sweet nieta." Abuelo Pedro clarified (granddaughter).

Bruno and Mirabel encountered Abuelo astonishingly.

He still smiles at them compassionately. Abuelo Pedro sighs. "Look at the two of you together." He added, staring at Bruno. "Hijo, you and your sobrina are inseparable. You brought her back to the Family Madrigal. You rescued her from the runaway donkey in a cart. You two have gone thru so much together." Abuelo Pedro mentions.

She glimpses at her tio and her abuelo.

Bruno had to be clear with him. "How can you know what have I done for Mirabel? And my mama?" He asks him a lot mystifyingly.

Abuelo Pedro still seems confident. "To see what's uncomplicated, Bruno...I am your mama's candle..." he replied.

Bruno got stunned.

His sobrina got her tio's reaction.

"You've been inside of the magic candle with my abuela the whole time?!" She blurts out.

Mirabel can't believe it.

Abuelo Pedro was not concerned. "I risked my life for your abuela and my children from danger. She means everything to me." He recalls.
