NYC–Central Park Carousel–Morning...

Sitting on the bench, Carlos Ortega plays a tune with his guitar.

In the end, everyone listening to his guitar tune started clapping at his performance. Carlos smiles slightly at everyone's reaction, which they enjoy listening to. He could see all the smiles, laughs, and happiness on their faces.

After that moment, everyone dispersed. As the crowd cleared, his smile dropped when he saw something that would bring back bad memories.

Maria: *Voice* Why didn't you save us, Carlos?

Maria: *Voice* Why didn't you save us, Carlos?

Lisa: *Voices* How could you do this to us, Uncle Carlos?

Frank Jr.: *Voices* You did this to us! We die because of you!

Maria: *Voices* Why?

Lisa: *Voices* Why?

Frank Jr.: Why?

Maria/Lisa/Frank Jr.: Why did you let us die?!

The voices then stopped when he snapped out of a trance.

Carlos: *Sigh* (I'm sorry.)

He puts his guitar in its case and gets up as he leaves the park. But from a distance, someone was watching him.

Hours Later...

After returning from the park, he finished making breakfast and put a plate on a kitchen table
