The day was warm, the sky was a bright blue, and there was just a slight breeze that would cool you off if you were too hot. It was a good day. A rather normal day. Especially for the town of Miracle City. The day was so nice that Emiliano Suarez decided to take a walk to the cemetery that Frida and Carmela went.

"Here lies Angy Suarez

She was a good mother.

1933-1967"

Emiliano stood beside his father, staring at the coffin his mother was in; oak wood, painted black, with little white designs scattered around it. The two were dress appropriately for the funeral; black tuxes. Emiliano held a bundle of white tulips close to his chest, a small frown on his face. Carmela feels sorry for him. The coffin was lowered into the ground slowly. It was in that moment, Emiliano's once curious, childish behavior left him. He knew what death was, yet he had to hide it behind a mask that his father forced him to wear.

Samuel Suarez was a man of few words. Emiliano immediately shaped up, listening to his father without a second thought. There may have been a few incidents that caused Emiliano to earn a slap to the face, speaking out of turn, muttering something sarcastic under his breath, small things that he did his best not to do. He was no longer a curious, joyful child. He was made into an unfeeling ghost, who married into a loveless marriage. He was broken, and kept it hidden, repeatedly telling himself that he couldn't break character, fearing that his father would come back from the dead and scold him, while ringing a bell.

And now Emiliano becomes a rebellious punk.

"Papa! Mama needs you for something!" Frida called out

"Coming Frida!"

"I'll never forget you Mama"
