The story so far
Everything you need before watchingGift night has reached the courtyard. Félix finds Antonio looking grown up, then warns Pepa her rain will soak the boy. Camilo copies his father's voice until Félix snaps that he does not sound like that. Abuela tells the village the candle blessed them fifty years ago, and the family's honor is to serve. Antonio freezes at his door: I can't. He grabs Mirabel: I need you. She walks him there. Abuela asks the ceremonial question: will he use this Gift to honor the miracle?
