Don’t think about Mirabel back in the nursery after her ceremony (don’t think about the box on the floor of the things she refuses to unpack)
Don’t think about her hearing Abuela rage at anyone around
Don’t think about Camillo sneaking in with party food for her
Don’t think about Luisa throwing her around in the days to follow, trying to get a laugh
Don’t think about Dolores teaching her songs and sewing and painting, any kind of distraction she can think of (Don’t think about how she wants Mirabel to have something to call a talent)
Don’t think about Abuela refusing to acknowledge Mirabel for days
Don’t think about Julietta pleading with her mother to “think about this reasonably!”
Don’t think about Felix and Augustin yelling at Casita, begging for an answer that it cannot give
Don’t think about Pepa hiding away in her room to make sure she won’t spoil the sunshine, because Mirabel deserves *something* nice
Don’t think about the hundreds of flowers Isa didn’t grow, not wanting to flaunt the magic that somehow she deserved more than her little sister
Definitely don’t think about how, with all the attention, negative and positive, the one thing Mirabel won’t stop thinking about it why Tio Bruno was so upset with her that he abandoned them all
