Several arepas are picked up by... Dolores, who is stacking her plate with food. She looks oddly nervous. Behind her, (Y/n) enters and locks on target. "Dolores, hey. You know, out of all my older cousins, you're like my favorite cousin, so I feel like I can talk to you about anything, ergo you can talk to me about anything, like the problem with the magic last night that no one seemed to worry about, but maybe you heard about that maybe I should know about." (Y/n) said. Behind them is Felix, who stands with the real Dolores. "Camilo! Stop pretending you're Dolores so you can have seconds. The "DOLORES" near (Y/n), morphs back into "Camilo." The House takes his food back and whacks his hand. "Worth a shot. Ah! Ey!" Dolores whispers in (Y/n)'s ear. "The only one worried about the magic is you... and the rats talking in the walls...oh, and Luisa. I heard her eye twitching all night.

A lightbulb goes off in (Y/n)'s head. She looks over at Luisa, who is carrying a table over with one hand. "There we go." But as (Y/n) heads for Luisa, Abuela Alma enters. "Everyone to the table. Let's go, let's go." (Y/n) takes Pepa's seat so that she can sit next to Luisa. "Luisa—" "Family, we are all thankful for Antonio's wonderful new... gift... Abuela goes to her chair, but finds coatis in it. "I told 'em to warm up your seat." Antonio smiles to Abuela, who manages a smile back. "Thank you, Toñito. I'm sure today  we'll find a way to put your blessings to good use....  ...as must we all, we are the caretakers of this Encanto..." As Abuela continues, (Y/n) leans over to Luisa. "Luisa, Dolores says you're totally  freaking out, any chance you maybe know something about last night, with the magic-" Luisa's eye twitches and (Y/n) points at her. "You do!" (Y/n) pounds the table, excited. "(Y/n)." (Y/n) looks up, busted by Abuela, for talking while Abuela was giving a speech.

"If you can't pay attention I will help you." "Actually, I-- "Casita?" The House moves (Y/n) next to Abuela, away from Luisa. "As I was saying, we must never take our miracle for granted, so today, we will work twice as hard." "Mhmm, I will help Luisa." (Y/n) stands to go back to Luisa, but Abuela continues.  "Stop. First, an announcement. I've  spoken to the Guzmans about Mariano's proposal to Isabela. Dolores, do we have a date?" Abuela asked. "Tonight." She listens. "He wants five babies." Isabela nervously sprouts some flowers, and (Y/n) snickers.

"Wonderful, such a fine young man with our perfect Isabela," she plucks out wrong flowers. "Will bring a new generation of magical blessings and make both of our families stronger. Camilo morphs into a snarky version of Mariano. "Mmmm." He makes kissy sounds. Isabela swats him with flowers to get him to stop. "Ay!" "Okay, our community is counting on us, La familia Madrigal!" "La Familia Madrigal! Luisa hey-"

As everyone gets up, (Y/n) sees Luisa is gone. (Y/n) heads after Luisa and smacks into Isabela, sending petals everywhere. "What is your problem?!" "Ugh, sorry. Hey Luisa! Hold up!" Luisa is moving a church. The Priest "blesses her." "Luisa, can you re-route the river?" "Will do!" "Luisa, the donkeys got out again." "On it."  As Luisa picks up a couple of donkeys, (Y/n) awkwardly climbs over the stone wall behind her. "Luisa, wait a second-" Luisa looks back, sees (Y/n), and moves faster. "You gotta tell me about the magic. What's going on? What are you hiding?" (Y/n) asked. "Nothing, just gotta lotta chores,  so maybe you should just go home." Luisa said. "Luisa, my house is leaning to the—" Luisa knocks a crooked house straight and keeps walking. "Oh!"

"Dolores said your eye was twitching and it never twitches, something's making you nervous." (Y/n) said. "Hey move, you're gonna make me drop a donkey." Luisa said. "Luisa?! Will you just-- Just tell  me what it is!" (Y/n) said. "There's nothing to tell." She replied. "You're obviously worried about  something! Luisa, if you know what's hurting the magic and it gets worse 'cause you won't tell me what's wrong —!" (Y/n) said. "NOTHING'S WRONG!" (Y/n)'s eyes widen in surprise. "Wow, uh, sorry, that, uh, that  snuck out there... what I meant was... "why would anything be wrong?" I'm totally fine. The magic's fine. Luisa's fine. I'm totally not nervous." "Your eye is... doing the thing... " (Y/n) said. Unwilling to admit there's a problem, Luisa gets in (Y/n)'s face.

Lusia
I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is

Luisa smashes a boulder to underscore her toughness. (Y/n) stares at Luisa, what the hell is happening? "Okay..." (Y/n) said.

Lusia
I move mountains, I move churches
And I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is

(Y/n)
Course I mean -- hey,
where are you going?

Luisa approaches (Y/n), intense.

Lusia
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded
But under the surface, I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface, was Hercules ever like, "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?"
Under the surface, I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
A flaw or a crack, the straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back, what breaks the camel's back?
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Under the surface, I hide my nerves and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface, the ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is
Under the surface, I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows
You try to stop it tumbling, but on and on, it goes
But wait, if I could shake the crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy or relaxation, or simple pleasure?
Instead, we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going
'Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip 'til you just go pop, whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks, no mistakes
Just pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick 'til it's ready to blow, whoa, oh, oh
Give it to your sister and never wonder
If the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes, no pressure

(Y/n) looks at Luisa, stunned. Luisa stares back like a dancer who just finished an insane routine and still breathing heavy. They stand in a weird silence. And instead of saying anything... (Y/n) simply...  hugs Lusia. "I think you're carrying way too-" (Y/n) gets squeezed. "Much..." Emotional, Luisa picks (Y/n) up and hugs her too hard. "Maybe I over do it." She said. "Yup." (Y/n) said. "Um, there is something you should  know: last night, when you saw the cracks, I felt... weak."

Luisa finally lets (Y/n) breathe. "Wha- What, what, what?!" (Y/n) asked. "Luisa, the donkeys!" "On it!" "Wait, wait, wait - what do you mean? What do you think's hurting the magic?" Luisa picks up a donkey, she has to hurry, she pulls (Y/n) close to tell her a secret. "Don't know. But I heard the grown ups once: before Tio Bruno left, he had like some terrible vision about it." Lusia said. "Tio Bruno? What was in his vision?" (Y/n) asked. "No one knows, they never found it.  But if something's wrong with the magic, start with Bruno's tower, find that vision. Luisa heads off, carrying more donkeys.

"Wait, how do you "find" a vision?! What am I even looking for?" (Y/n) asked. "If you find it, you'll know. But be careful... that place is off limits for a reason." (Y/n) turns back to the house. On her way to Bruno's door, she sneaks past Isabela and Abuela Alma. "Such a perfect match." Abuela said. "So perfect." Isabella said. "And so good for the Encanto." (Y/n) sneaks past the two and reaches Bruno's door. No one's been in there for years. (Y/n) shoves open Bruno's door, revealing a dusty, dark ante room. In front of her, sand spills in from above, creating a curtain of sand, beyond which she can't see.

"Casita, can you turn off the sand?" Nothing happens. (Y/n) looks back where she can see the floor tiles at the doorjamb say "the house cannot help beyond this point." The gravity of this hits (Y/n). "You can't help in here?" She asked. The House responds "no... and I'm worried about you," after all, (Y/n) has never been "without the House." I'll be fine. I need to do this, for you, for Abuela...

maybe a little for me." She looks to sand. "Find the vision, save the mir-ack! As (Y/n) steps through the "sandfall" she...falls. (Y/n) falls face first and slides down a giant sand dune. She looks up to see... she's in towering room. "Whoa..." there's a sign reading "Your Future Awaits," which points to the TOP of the cavern. Hundreds of stairs lead all the way up. As (Y/n) looks up, Antonio's toucan flaps down next to her. It smiles and squawks "hello." "Oh, hello. Lotta stairs, but  at least I'll have a friend." The toucan flies away. "No, you flew away immediately." (Y/n) watches it fly to the top. She's on her own. (Y/n) grits her teeth and starts climbing. "Alright."

"Welcome to the Family Madrigal..."
"..there's so many stairs  in the Casa Madrigal...
"You would think there'd be another way to get so high cause we're magic, but no -- magical, how many stairs fit in here! Bruno, your room is the worst!!

Later, (Y/n) finally gets to the top of the stairs, only to find there is a gap in the path. She groans, exhausted. As (Y/n) takes a breath... then removes a rope railing on and throws it over a boulder above as an anchor "Okay, I can do this." (Y/n) looks at the gap. "Ooo..." (Y/n) goes to swing across, slips loses her balance, but... somehow makes it across. Stunned she succeeded, (Y/n) pumps her fists. "Wooooo!" But as (Y/n) stomps her foot to celebrate, the ledge below her cracks and plummets to the ground, nearly taking her with it. She looks to the toucan, who looks at her, judgmental. Deciding celebration time is over, (Y/n) turns to the entrance of Bruno's "temple."  The corridors feel like a forgotten tomb.

The Toucan trails her, nervous. (Y/n) looks around, focussing on a triptych of images depicting how Bruno's visions come to pass. As (Y/n) investigates it - SCREEE!!! She accidentally knocks a POT full of... rats. They startle (Y/n) and scurry into a relief sculpture of bruno. On closer inspection... Bruno's eyes have been scratched out. Disturbing. (Y/n) hears a creak, which draws her eyes to... Bruno's "INNER SANCTUM." It sure looks like the epicenter. The toucan looks at (Y/n)... turns around and flies away. "Quitter." (Y/n) enters the dark room... there's an unusual circle of sand in the middle, but there is no sign of anything else. It's a dead end. Confused... she steps out onto the sand. "Empty.... "

The wind moving through the cavern sucks the door shut, plunging (Y/n) into darkness. (Y/n) panics, stuck in the darkness... but then... a light. Something glowing green... she's standing on it... the sand itself seems to be glowing... (Y/n) digs into the sand and finds... a glowing shard - like a piece of an emerald relief sculpture. "What's hurting the magic?" Abuela sweeps the House, trying to clean up Isabela's copious flower petals. But the room seems to rumble. Concerned, Abuela looks up and sees... the candle flicker just a bit. As (Y/n) pulls more glowing emerald pieces from the sand,

she realizes they form some kind of image. She realizes this is Bruno's vision... smashed to pieces! (Y/n) nervously connects the pieces to reveal... her own worried face.  "Me...?" The entire cavern begins to shake, falling apart. Sand begins pouring in, covering the remaining shards under the sand. Panicking, (Y/n) tries to dig out the remaining shards and shove them into her bag as the cavern quakes and cracks snake around the room. As pieces of stone and sand threaten to block the entrance... (Y/n) races to collect one last piece, but as she dives to the door, it's locked! (Y/n) bangs at it desperately and then... jiggles the handle. Whoosh! A tidal wave of sand pushes her out to safety, almost sending her over the cliff. (Y/n) looks down at the shards... (Y/n) hurries out of Bruno's room and turns a corner and walks right into Abuela.
