"It's ok to cry, hija, it's ok to cry.," Julieta told Isabella, who is still crying after she saw Mirabel covered with blood.

"But mama, papa, I just can't.," Isa said. "She really wanted me to be happy with my life before Abuela interupted. And I never say thank you to her after that.," she added, and then cried.

Just then, Pepa's family and Luisa approched her, and her parents.

"Mija, where all here to say that same thing you said.," Pepa told Isa. "We're all wanted to say thanks to her, but we are all sorry for what happen to her after what we have done.," she added.

Isa continues on crying on Mirabel's cold body.

"Look, mija, we're all sad that she's tragically lost her life. But we need to be happy because she lived with us.," a voice told Isabella.

That voice was Bruno.

Pepa and Julieta were shocked to see their brother for a long time. The former Madrigal, instead of being angry to him, just gave him a warm hug.

"I am really sorry for what I've said bad to Mirabel about you.," Pepa told Bruno. "No, all of us here."

"It's ok, sis. At least she tried her best to warn us all, but it ended risking everything to make the Casita steady, and taking her life away from her.," Bruno responded.

Abuela Alma and Dolores just came in. They were in shocked, the same reaction as the rest of the people in Encanto, and learned at the same time that Mirabel died. The latter Madrigal was shocked as what she've heard earlier. She remembered that she heard Mirabel's last heartbeats before dying and the candle burned out.

"No. No. No. Not Mirabel.," Dolores said while covering her right hand to her mouth as she saw the rest of the family gathered around the lifeless and blooded Madrigal.

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, and the matriarch realized it hard. Too hard.

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

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.," Abuela sadly said. "I should never hurt your feelings in the first place. I should never told you that you're the one hurting our family."

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

"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. She haven't saw her only son for a decade, but it doesn't matter. She knows that losing a loved one is now a thing after Mirabel's death, 57 years after the death of her husband Pedro.

"I should listen about your prophecy about her, mi hijo.," Abuela told her son. "I shouldn't know."

"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.
