"Okayy, Bruno, what's in your vision?"
Mirabel furrowed her brow, trying to piece the vision together, Mara looking over her shoulder nervously.

Suddenly, Pepa entered the room, basket in her arms, trying to see what the two were doing. A thundercloud hung over her head.

"Oh! Señora Pepa! Didn't see ya there!"
Mara said, giving Mirabel a signal to hide the shards from the vision.

"Oh, don't mind me, I just-"
She paused, shooing the thundercloud out of the door.
Sighing, she continued.
"I just thought I heard the name we do not...speak."

Mara gave Mirabel a look as Pepa crouched so she could get  some of Antonio's things.
"Yeah, about Bruno-"
A storm cloud appeared over Pepa's head once again.
"-him, what would happen if...you were in his vision?"
Mirabel asked.
"We don't talk about Bruno."
Pepa muttered, squeezing the water out of a rag.
"Mira, I have a feeling you asking about Bruno might lead to a song."
Pepa glanced at Mara, an eyebrow raised, and turned to Mirabel.
"Mirabel, please, we need to get ready for the Guzmans!"
"I know, it's just, if he saw you in his vision was it positive, or-"
Félix, Pepa's husband, suddenly burst into the room, almost knocking the door off it's hinges.
"IT WAS TERRIBLE!" He shouted.

"FÉLIX!" Pepa shouted.
"She has to know, mi amor."
"Mira, I have a really strong feeling this will lead to a so-"
"What if you didn't understand what he saw?"
"Then you better figure it out, because it was coming for you."
Mara glared at Mirabel, already hearing the music.
"Oh no. Not this agai-"

We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no.
We don't talk about Bruno....

But! It was our wedding day!
It was our wedding day!

Mirabel and Mara found themselves dancing together too, the same way Félix and Pepa were.

We were getting ready and there wasn't a cloud in the sky!
No clouds allowed in the sky!
Bruno walks in, with a mischievous grin!
Thunder!
You tellin'the story or am I ?!
I'm sorry, mi vida go onnn....
Bruno says it looks like rain!
Why did he tell us???
In doing so he floods my brain!
Abuela get the umbrellas!
Married in a hurricane! >:(
What a joyous day but anyway!
We don't talk about Bruno, no,no,no.
We don't talk about Bruno!

"I told you, Mira."
"Is Dolores gonna give us a verse?"
"My question is, how are we randomly teleporting to these places-"

Hey!
Grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling,
I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling,
I associate him with the sound of falling sand.
Shh, shh, shh.
It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling,

The two girls tried their best to follow Dolores' dance moves, Mara doing considerably better, Mirabel getting more and more frustrated.

always left Abuela and the family fumbling,
Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand.
Do you understand?

Mara spotted an odd figure on the second floor, bobbing his head.
"Mira, look at tha-"

SEVEN FOOT FRAME,
Rats along his back,
Camilo looked directly at Mara after this line, before turning back to Mirabel.
When he calls your name, it all fades to black!
Yeah, he sees your dreams,
Camilo grabbed Mara by the hand, twirling her around before his last line.
Feasts on your screams....
