[Bruno's eyes fall shut and he goes limp. Julieta slips an arm under him, indicating that they should lower him onto the ground. When they do, she kneels next to him, frowning as he coughs wetly. She mutters a few words about those Fernandez brothers that Mirabel probably shouldn't have heard, too distracted by her brother's plight to really police her own language that much.]
Mira, hold his feet up... like that, [she says, gesturing that she should hold them up higher than the rest of him. Then she sighs, shaking her head, reaching into her pocket for a bottle.] You did the best thing you could do. Those two are best left to your Tía Pepa--they've clearly forgotten what it's like to get some lightning in their feet!
[Unstoppering the bottle reveals a pungent odour, which she places by his nose.] Bruno... hermanito.... Come on, wake up.... [He gives a few more wet coughs and she rubs his chest.] Bruno.... [His eyes flutter open.] Take a bite. [She slips a small round buñuelo into his mouth and watches keenly as he slowly chews it.]
I'm so sorry you had to see this, Mira, [Julieta murmurs, stroking a few locks of Bruno's hair.] A lot of people weren't good to him before he went into hiding, and... I guess it was too much to expect any of them to change.
