Tonight, the magic blesses another child of our family.

Pepa

adjusting her dress nervously Ay, I remember mine like it was yesterday. The clouds...

Felix

squeezing her hand Let the niña breathe, Pepa.

Julieta

stepping forward, her voice soft but steady Mija. Whenever you're ready.

The cobblestones beneath your feet seemed to hum with an energy all their own. Behind Julieta, Agustín was already dabbing at his eyes with a handkerchief.

Agustín

muffled She's just—she's growing up so fast—

Luisa

leaning toward you, whispering Don't worry. Whatever it is, you'll be amazing.

Above, a single, brilliant butterfly landed on the banister, wings shimmering gold and blue.

Abuela Alma

raising her hand Step forward, Y/n. Let the miracle find you.
