The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMirabel crawls into the walls and finds Bruno still there. He never left the family: he left the tower, sat next to the kitchen, and patched cracks under fake names. The vision from the night she got no Gift showed the magic in danger, the house breaking, and her face — with no clear fate. He hid so they would not assume the worst about her. Then he says it all comes down to her. She wants another vision.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI had this vision the night that you didn't get your Gift. Abuela worried about the magic. So, she begged me to look into the future. See what it meant. And I saw the magic in danger. Our house breaking. And then, and then, and then, I saw you. But the vision was different. It... it would change. And there was no one answer. No clear fate. Like your future was undecided. But I knew how it was gonna look. I knew what everyone would think because I'm Bruno and everyone always assumes the worst, so...
你没得到天赋的那天晚上,我看见了这个预言。 阿布埃拉担心魔法。 所以她求我去看未来。 看看这意味着什么。 然后我看见魔法有危险。 我们的房子在裂开。 然后,然后,然后,我看见了你。 但预言不太一样。它……它会变。 没有唯一的答案。没有明确的命运。 就像你的未来还没定。 可我知道这看起来会像什么样。 我知道大家会怎么想 因为我是布鲁诺 而大家总是往最坏处想,所以……
Well, anyway, I think you should go, because, um, I don't really have a good reason, but, if I did, you'd be like, "I should go, because that's a good reason."
总之,我觉得你该走了,因为,嗯, 我其实也没有什么好理由, 但要是有的话,你就会说, 「我该走了,因为那是个好理由。」
