Video: UN: BRUNO

WHO: Bruno and you!
WHERE: In his Vision Cave in Casita
WHEN: 18th Feb
WHAT: Another super fun vision!!
WARNINGS: Talk of decapitation and a shitty MSpaint picture of it.



[Bruno is sitting in a large cavernous room with a sandpit in the middle. It's not the fun kind of sandpit though and Bruno is definitely not having a good time. He looks more stressed than usual as he turns the feed on.]

Okay, so I thought I'd give this looking into the future of this place thing one more shot. Just- just to see if I could see if anything...awful was coming. Or maybe if there was an exit to this unending nightmare? You know how it is. Anyway, the answer to that is absolutely not.

[He raises his little glass vision plate to the screen, just as poor quality as it was last month. He jabs a single finger at it in a panicked motion.]



Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, can I please draw your attention to the DECAPITATED HUMAN HEAD?!!! Okay there's also some...fish with glasses and kind of a cane here too and I don't know what that's about, but what I really think we should be focussing on here is the DeCApItAtEd HuMAn hEad.

[He drops the plate, raising his hands.]

Anyway, I'm done. I am super done with literally everything. I'm just gonna go back to living in the walls where I didn't have to worry about any, and I really can't stress this enough, decapitatted human heads.

I'm sorry you had to see that. Why don't I make your favorite and some calming tea, yeah? [Seeing a decapitated head, even in a vision, couldn't be easy or pleasant.]

Okay. [She lets out a breath, glad he won't leave again. She can't do that, not again.] And maybe it doesn't make sense, but it's not on you alone to keep us safe. We'll all work together to do it, alright?

[She knows her triplet.]

Alright, some calming tea and some butterbur flowers mixed with some lavender, I'll combine it with the arepas I have cooking.

[She goes to get all that ready for when Bruno comes to the kitchen.]

I'm sure once whatever it is happens we'll go "¡Claro que si! So obvious!" [She smiles, trying to make her baby brother feel better.] It's not awful, we may not know what it means, but we have some warning and some time now, yeah?
pan_acea: (The truth is)

[Julieta is currently getting the herbal mix ready as she waits for Bruno to come down and join her.]

Ay, sí, pero, maybe we can't avoid it, maybe that's the point.

And now we know to look out for it, or maybe it's not something to look out for.

[She feels him, before she sees him, that bond only triplets have. She turns and takes both of his hands into her own, gently tugging him into the space with her, holding him close.]

Hey there, Brunito. [She whispers, setting the lavender and butterbur tea in front of him before she puts a plate of food next to the teacup.]

I know. [Her voice remains soft as she moves to sit next to him, carding her fingers through his hair.] But, gift or no gift, full power or not, you will always be able to help the people you love. You always have, Bruno.

[She rubs his back and smiles softly. She wished Agustín was here, with his endless optimism or his way of saying the wrong things for the right reasons. Or Felíx and his way to always brighten up the atmosphere. She was a healer, she wanted to heal and fix things. As a child she wanted that desperately, and her Gift let her.

But there was a wound her cooking couldn't fix.

It couldn't fix Mirabel's heartache, it couldn't relieve Luisa's pressure, it couldn't remove Pepí's anxiety, or... anything on the inside. And she knew that it was okay that she couldn't heal it, but she WANTED to. She wanted to be there for them. And all her years as a healer taught her sometimes the only medicine she could offer was just being there.
]

I know we all wish we could be doing more. [She moved one hand off of his teacup and linked her hand into his.] It's... it never feels like it's enough like we're not doing enough. You want to keep the family safe, you want to keep all these people safe.

Your heart is so large and great, Bruno.

Ay no, I think it makes the biggest difference, Bruno.

You have always tried to do more, be more, accomplish more for this family. I wish you could see how incredible that is.

You told Mira that she's the real gift. You too, you are a gift too. You are perfect, with or without your visions.
pan_acea: (Here's her deal)

[She sighs and nods, leaning back, but keeps a hold of his hand.]

We did, yes. [Julieta is not an idiot, far from it. She knows how long they've lived under the notion of being useful, being helpful, being available with their gifts. Julieta, personally, always had to be calm, she was the good girl, not quiet and "eerie" the way people called Bruno, but just gentle and never the sort to yell or shout, she was mamá's helper. She knows.

Even now, she struggles to be properly "angry," Agustín always having done it for her because he didn't mind being the harsher voice where she always had to be calm and gentle and in control. Before Agustín, Pepa had been willing to yell for all three of them.

God, she missed them both, she missed Felix, she missed mamá too.

But... it's just us right now, the kids need us, as imperfect as we are, they need us. I need you.

[She wraps her arms around him and lets out a long breath, glad to have him in her arms. She hasn't been able to hold and hug him for ten years? She's got a lot of hugs to make up for.

She presses a kiss to his temple, just happy to hear the words about having Bruno here with her.
]

I do have you. And you've got me. I'm not going anywhere, either, okay? We're in this together.

[They had finally been reunited, it's true. They may still be together back home, Julieta didn't really know how it worked since she hadn't even noticed Bruno, Mirabel, Dolores, and the rest of the family missing until they told her she had been here for several weeks. Camilo hadn't seemed to notice she had been missing either.

So who was to say how this whole thing worked?

But what she did know was she had her family here to take care of, and that was first and foremost in her mind.

Here, finish eating, okay?
