While the rest of the family were crying after Mirabel's tragic death, Abuela Alma and Dolores came in. They were in shocked, as same as the rest of the community, and learned that Mirabel died.

Dolores was shoocked as what she've heard earlier.

*flashback to earlier*

"I heard something bad.," Dolores told herself during the collapse, where Mirabel got the candle and got collapsed with the Casita, then she heard Mirabel breathing, and her heart beating slowly until she officially collapsed.

She then searched for Abuela after the collapse. After some searching, she found the candle holder.

"Abuela, are you ok?," Dolores approched Abuela.

"I'm ok, mija. Where are the others?," Abuela said and asked Dolores.

"I can't answer that question right now, Abuela. I just need to hear from them.," Dolores calmly answered.

Suddenly, she heard something from the other side of the destroyed Casita. She didn't heard some minor sounds, she heard Julieta screaming, then Agustin, and finally Isabella.

Dolores was shocked. Her jaw dropped. She didn't have a reaction to those shouting from her tío, tía and one of her cousins

"What did you hear, mija?," Abuela asked. "Did you heard something good?," she added another question.

"I-I-I."

"What Dolores?," Abuela asked her again.

"I think there is something bad happening there. And it might be related to Mirabel....," Dolores answered.

"What related to Mirabel?," Abuela asked Dolores again.

".....I think there's something bad happened to her.," Dolores answered. Then they run.

*end of flashback*

"No. No. No. Not Mirabel.," Dolores said as she saw the rest of the family gather around the lifeless and blooded Mirabel.

Abuela, on the other hand, was in shocked more than anyone. She said a lot of bad things to Mirabel in the past. But now she regret about what she've said earlier and she didn't want to see one of her grandchildren lifeless and full of blood. She was the more shocked than any Madrigal in the building, or any person in their community.

"What did I done?," Abuela questioned herself while slowly walking to approched Mirabel. She can't believe what she've saw just now and what Dolores told her before approching the rest of the Madrigals.

While Abuela slowly approched, Julieta slowly distanced herself from the cold body of Mirabel. She thinks that Abuela could have bad feelings for her youngest daugther. Instead, the candle holder said her last words to the lifeless Madrigal.

"I'm so, so, so sorry, mija. I should never hurt your feelings in the first place.," Abuela said.

She never expected to see something bad after the collapse, as what Dolores told her.

"I should keep my words, and-"

"Mama, you know some words can hurt, and I think you put it too much on Mirabel. Now, those words resulted to her death.," Bruno said.

Suddenly, the candle holder hugged Bruno.

"I should lissen to her about your prophecy about her, mi hijo.," Abuela told her son.

"It's ok. We should be careful next time around.," Bruno responed.

The family now have to suffer sadness after the death of one of their own due to the collapse of their encanto.

A/N: (Spoilers for those who didn't watched the movie yet) Unlike what happend in the movie, in which I found it very funny and heartwarming at the same time, this one has only heartbreak.
