“I am sorry, señor, but your image does not match anything in our records.”

“But… what? What does that mean?”

“It means that your photo is on no one’s ofrenda.”

“So what does that mean? I can’t cross the bridge? I can’t see my daughter because of some, some mistake?”

“Señor–”

“You have to let me through. I just want to see my daughter–”

“I am sorry, but please move along, there are others waiting to cross.”

Ok, so, can you imagine the first time Hector tried to cross over on Dia de los Muertos, and learning he couldn’t, because no one had put his photo up? And thinking Imelda was angry with him even after his death, because surely his best friend Ernesto had informed his family of his passing? When really Imelda believed he had completely abandoned them, never to return, because Ernesto had neglected to tell her anything? It just makes everything worse. I just made myself sad x10. I’m going to go cry, now.

Please write that fanfiction, there isn’t enough of it for coco
