Mirabel's exclusion wounds family harmony

The glowing border of the door pulses as a visible marker of the Encanto’s magic, intensifying during Mirabel’s exclusion. Its light contrasts with the family’s growing spiritual and emotional darkness, grounding the scene’s tension in the decaying miracle.

Before: Pulsing gently, casting shifting patterns of light around the door.
After: Still glowing, its light now a reminder of the magic’s fading stability.
