WHERE: Casita's kitchen
WHEN: 5/1
WHAT: Butter No Jutsu
WARNINGS: Too much butter is bad for you

[It's an evening post with Mirabel! She... doesn't look very amused.]

So uh, I got one of those Furby things? It's long and it showed up in my room and scared me half to death. I've been getting a lot of stuff lately for no reason?? I got something called "Baja Blast" and it's a drink of some kind?

Also...

[She moves the camera. It's a tiny butter version of the Encanto! Like, shockingly accurate detail. There's even a tiny butter Casita! And townspeople! And the family! Look, once you find out you can magically make things out of butter you gotta see how far you can go with it okay.]

I can do this now? Uh... don't ask me how.

[Mirabel is quiet for a moment. And then she moves closer to Pepa.

To hug her.]

Thank you for telling me. I-I guess there’s still don’t understand about the… not-so-great moments with your Gifts. I’m glad Tío Felix did what he did to make you happy instead of sad.

I feel like I should be grateful though, that I got one at all. Even after all this time…

I guess I just imagined getting a Gift would feel a lot more… special - or, I dunno. I’ve always had it pictured differently in my mind how it would happen. I know we don’t get to pick them but…

[She finally sighs.]

You’re right, maybe there is a silver lining to all of this. After all, it’s a Gift that’s just for me… right? I guess that makes it pretty special then.

We didn't do a very good job making you feel special sometimes.

[She feels bad about the way she sometimes treated Mirabel. It wasn't malicious. But they sort of all caused the cracks in Casita, didn't they?]

But you're special, gift or no, Mirabel.

... Thank you, tía Pepa.

[She appreciates hearing it now.]

We all had... a lot going on back home. I hope things can be different now. Well, not "hope"... we will make them different. Better.

[Whether here in Kaisou, or back home. They've got a lot to work through, but they can do it. Mirabel has all the faith in the world in them.]
