Manny hugs him as he breaks down into tears… Davi hugs him back, feeling Manny's tears wetting his shoulder as he breaks down in his arms. Davi holds him tightly, providing comfort and reassurance
Davi: (softly)…Manny…I’m sorry…
Manny: It's okay, Davi…he just…caught you off guard…that’s all…Davi you were awesome…you were an amazing hero and an amazing little brother…

Davi begins to cry silently, overwhelmed by the weight of Manny's words and his own realization of their special bond. They hold each other tighter, finding solace and comfort in each other's presence as they mourn the loss and celebrate their connection.
Frida: Manny…
Manny: frida…
He turns to see her eyes were glowing blue
Frida: Well I guess that’s that huh…mi amor…guess we don’t have nine lives after all
she walks up to him and hugs him…Manny hugs her back, his emotions still raw and vulnerable. His voice is heavy with unshed tears as he speaks

Davi sniffles, tears streaming down his face as he leans into her hug. The embrace holds for a few moments, the three of them finding comfort and strength in each other. The silence is bittersweet, filled with unspoken emotions and the weight of loss and friendship
…:Davi?
Davi looks up, his tears now dry as he hears his name being called
Davi: Yeah?
He turns to look in the direction of the voice, his curiosity piqued
Davi: Who's there?
As a pale donkey spirit walks up to Davi… Davi's eyes widen in surprise as the pale donkey spirit walks towards him. He watches, a mixture of curiosity and wariness on his face...
…:Well hello there little Davi…it’s about time we met
Davi swallows nervously, his curiosity peaked by the donkey spirit's words. He takes a cautious step closer, his voice trembling slightly
Davi: You... you know my name?
The pale donkey spirit chuckles softly, its ethereal voice carrying a hint of mystery
Pale Donkey Spirit: Of course, I do, little Davi. I've been watching you for quite some time now.
Davi's eyes widen, a shiver running down his spine at the revelation. He can't help but feel a mix of intrigue and unease at the thought of being watched
Davi: You... you've been watching me? For how long?
The pale donkey spirit nods, its eyes gleaming with a cryptic knowledge
Pale Donkey Spirit: For much longer than you can imagine. I've been observing your journey, your every move, silently witnessing your growth.
Davi's curiosity intensifies. He takes another step closer, his gaze focused on the donkey spirit.
Davi: Why? Why have you been watching me all this time? What do you want from me?
Davi jumps slightly at the unexpected bump, his eyes darting around to see what caused it
Burrito: you can call me burrito…(laughs) but you’re not done just yet…see ya 46 years though!
Davi:Wait huh…(bump again)…
Manny: Davi…
Manny tried to get to Davi as he disappeared… Manny's voice is filled with panic as he witnesses Davi's disappearance. He runs towards the spot where Davi was standing, desperation and confusion etched on his face.
Manny: Davi! Wait, what's going on?!
Manny's eyes widen, realizing that he too will suffer the same fate as Davi
Manny: Oh no...
The realization hits him like a wave of cold water, fear and sadness washing over him. He can't help but feel a sense of dread at the thought of being transported somewhere unknown… Manny's heart swells with a mix of emotions as he looks at Frida. Her smile, despite the circumstances, brings a sense of comfort and reassurance. He stands there, a million questions running through his mind, but in this moment, he sees a flicker of hope in her eyes
Manny takes a step closer to Frida, his voice full of uncertainty
Manny: Fr-Frida... I’ll see you again one day mi amor…
Frida nods, a reassuring smile spreading across her face
Frida: Of course, mi amor…we will meet again. I promise.
Manny's heart aches as he disappears, his last sight being Frida's reassuring smile. A wave of sadness washes over him, knowing that he may not see her for who knows how long... But deep down, the promise of one day meeting her again gives him a sense of hope and determination to endure whatever lies ahead

Manny's ears prick up, the familiar voice catching his attention. He looks around, trying to locate the source of the voice
Manny: Tiger?!

With a final "bump," the disorienting sensation finally comes to a stop, leaving Manny in a state of confusion and exhaustion. He takes a moment to gather himself, looking around to assess his surroundings...
El Tigre: (Roars)…ENOUGH WITH THE BUMPING!…
He looks at frida smiling
El Tigre:…I’m Alive??
Frida squeezes him tightly, her eyes filled with relief as she hugs him
Frida: Si, mi amor... you're alive!
El Tigre melts into her embrace, feeling her warmth and love enveloping him. The fear and anxiety from the recent ordeal slowly begin to dissipate, replaced by a sense of safety and comfort. He hugs her back, his strong arms wrapping around her small frame, almost protectively… his hands were shaking
El Tigre: I g-guess… we’re good at keeping promises…huh…
Frida nods, her grip tightening around him as she feels his trembling hands. She pulls away slightly, her gaze locking with his
Frida: (smiles reassuringly) Yes... we are…
El Tigre's eyes soften at the sight of her smile, finding comfort in the familiar sight. He takes a deep breath, his body beginning to relax as the adrenaline fades away… Frida gently brings her hand up to wipe away the tears that stream down his cheek, her touch soothing and comforting… El Tigre leans into her touch, his eyes closing for a moment as he takes comfort in her presence. The tears continue to fall, a mix of relief and exhaustion taking over his body. He speaks softly, his voice betraying a hint of vulnerability
Manny: (Gasp)…Davi!
The mention of Davi's name brings a new wave of worry and concern to both Manny and Frida. They look around, searching for any signs of their young friend… Manny and Frida quickly make their way to the hospital, their hearts pounding with anxiety and fear for Davi's well-being. Their thoughts are filled with worry and a million questions race through their minds
Room 223

Davi: hmm…(gulps)…Hey guy-
Manny and Frida enter the room, their eyes locking onto Davi. A wave of relief washes over them as they see him sitting up, eating apple slices
Manny: Davi... you're alive.
Davi smiles, his face lighting up as he sees the familiar faces of Manny and Frida
Davi: Yup! Alive and well.
Davi looks at Manny and Frida
Davi: Meanwhile, the lovely couple looks like their about to keel over and die..(especially since of them already did)
Manny rolls his eyes playfully, while Frida chuckles at Davi's comment. Davi's playful expression immediately turns to concern as he sees Manny coughing up blood. He quickly reaches for the button to call a nurse
Manny: Thanks for the reassurance, little man. But also (coughs up blood) call the nurse…
After spending a few night in the hospital from their battle…a few months go by and we see manny along with Frida walk across the stage to Edie’s their diplomas. Manny and Frida smile, holding their diplomas in hand as they walk across the stage. The sound of clapping and cheering fills the air, a mixture of pride and relief visible in their expressions
