Encanto: Mirabel's Times with Tio Bruno

On the morning of the casita, Julieta makes arepas in the kitchen. She places a couple uncooked dough on the heated stovetop. Julieta seemed confident.

Bruno arrived in the kitchen. He was awkwardly happy as usual.

Bruno goes to the countertop. "Buenos dias, Julieta." He greeted.

"Buenos dias, Bruno." She greets him back.

Julieta faced him.

He helps himself three arepas. Bruno faces her back. "How's Mirabel this morning?" He asked her.

The meh expressive capybara appears. It peeks at Bruno.

"She's all right. Isabela and Luisa are so helpful to her hermana." Julieta answered.

"Mirabel will get her new glasses soon. It's been three days since Agustin talked Osvaldo about the delivery order." Bruno stated.

Julieta became solemn. "It's going to be longer than a month to get new glasses for Mirabel." She said.

He became overwhelmed. "A month?!" Bruno exclaimed.

"Longer than a month." Julieta clarified.

"But why?! Mirabel can't help her family she has without her glasses!" Bruno exclaims worryingly.

"I know it's hard for my daughter. Mama told me that she needs help for everything that is only for women. Just until Mirabel gets her new glasses." Julieta said pitifully.

He was disbelieved. "So that's it? I can't see my sobrina until she gets new pair of glasses?" Bruno wondered.

Julieta sighs. "You can still be with Mirabel before she sleeps every night. I know it's not enough time for you to spend with her." She replied.

He became perplexed. "Okay, who's staying with Mirabel until she gets her new pair of glasses?" Bruno wonders.

Julieta has no idea how to reply his answer.

She feels awkward.

He becomes resolute. "Is anyone in the casita watching Mirabel?" Bruno added, getting serious. "Julieta, your daughter's helpless without her glasses for papa's sake." He uttered.

"I know you don't like seeing Mirabel being cooped up in her bedroom. Maybe talk to mama about your concerns like you just told me." She declares.

Bruno sighed. "Maybe I will." He decides.

Bruno leaves the kitchen. He was having a fit of the Madrigals recently. Especially his mother.

The capybara begins following Bruno. It was only a couple feet away from each other.

He was about to get out of the casita. Bruno halted. He detects little footsteps. Bruno turns around. He was bewildered.

No one's in the casita.

Bruno shrugs. "Meh." He said.

Bruno left the casita. He moves forward.

The capybara appeared from behind the front blue-greenish door.

It walks after Bruno.

He scrolled into the town.

The townsfolk have witnessed the capybara stalking Bruno.

They chuckled at them.

He noticed people giggled at him. Bruno halts. He turned around again. He gets mystified again.

Nobody was here.

Bruno sighed aggravatingly. "Every time." He said to himself.

Bruno walked on.
