The next day, Camilo woke up and he've thinked of something. Something that he didn't forget when Mirabel's soul visited him last night.

"Why? You've missed me, don't you?"

"Yeah! All of us are."

"You know, Mirabel, all of us in the family won't be the same without you."

"I know that, Camilo. Always."

Just then, Abuela Alma approched him.

"Camilo, mijo? What's wrong?," Abuela asked Camilo.

"Nothing. Nothing wrong. It's just Mirabel.," Camilo said. "She said in my dream that she missed us and she also know that it will never be the same without her. Always."

Abuela was sad after what Camilo said, considering what has happened to the familia.

"Say, if you want, we can visit her grave.," Abuela said and Camilo approves.

At the grave, Camilo said everything that he dreamt about last night.

"I don't know what you've said about my dream.," Camilo said. "But you know what, we all miss you, prima, if you ask Abuela, mama or any of us here. I know might miss us too, and I'm proud of that. I hope you're happy now, because we all do."

Abuela, on the other hand, have also said about the recent events and knows her granddaughter is visiting her family. She even acknowleged the motive Mirabel wanted.

"You know, mija, when we're sleeping, you came to visit.," Abuela said. "I didn't mean to stop doing it but you need to continue this type of visit. Besides, as Camilo told me, it's not the same without you.," the candle holder added.

Back to the Casita, Antonio was approched by Dolores. The family was told that after the tragedy, he can't be alone, considering what happen to Mirabel. Pepa, their mother, must keep a secret about her, the recent events or even the tragedy, or else Tonio might be sadden. Suddenly, Tonio asked his big sister.

"Hermana, why does tía Julieta was so distant to Abuela recently?," Tonio asked Dolores.

"Well, hermanito, it's quite personal.," Dolores said. "You don't need those answers from those questions."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. It might be too serious for you to take it.," Dolores added.

"Ok. I know it might be hard.," Tonio said and walked away.

Not so far, Dolores walked away as well and saw Abuela and Camilo returning from Mirabel's grave.

"How's Tonio?," Abuela asked Dolores.

"Well, he asked about why tía is so distant from you, Abuela.," Dolores answered.

"Did you told him about what happened? Even inches of Mirabel's death?," Camilo asked his big sister.

"Not at all. I've said that it was personal.," Dolores said.

"Good thing, or else he might be sad. He really misses Mirabel more than all of us here.," Abuela said.

Later that night, Pepa was asked by her youngest son the same question that he've asked to Dolores.

"Mama, why does tía Julieta was so distant to Abuela?"

"Well, mi hijo, I don't want to answer this question. It's quite hard.," Pepa answered.

"Let me guess, it's personal like what hermana Dolores said?," Tonio asked.

Pepa said yes, in affirmation to the question her youngest son asked.

"Well, I guess it very personal then."

"So, that's it?," Pepa asked.

Tonio confirmed that it was the only question that he'll asked.

"Good night, mi hijo.," Pepa said to Antonio. He also said good night.

Not from afar, Abuela and the rest of the family except Julieta approched Pepa. They know that Mirabel's soul would visit Tonio at any moment.

"Tía, what happened?," Luisa asked Pepa.

"I've asked the same question he asked Dolores about.," Pepa said.

"Did you said it's quite personal, like I've told him?," Dolores asked her mother.

"Well, he already knows that answer you've said.," Pepa said, and the rest of the family was relieved.

"Good thing.," Bruno said. "Only Mirabel would said what really is the reason why Julieta was really distant to Abuela."

"If any of us would told Tonio about the tragedy and what happened after that, it's none of it. Only Mirabel.," Isabella added.

"Let's get to sleep.," Abuela said. "We don't want any of us interrupt Tonio's dream.," Agustin added to the candle holder's words.

The family went to their rooms and confortably sleeps, so does Tonio.
