After the truth was revealed about Ernesto de la Cruz, the people in the Land of the Dead offered Héctor fame and fortune to rival what Ernesto had accumulated through lies and violence. He tells everyone he doesn’t want any of those things. He never did. He was remembered by his family now, and that was enough.

He moved out of the village of the forgotten ones to be with Imelda and her family, and shortly after they welcomed Coco into their house with as much joy as the first time she was brought home and more. They sang and danced just loud enough for the neighbors to hear and no one else. And they were happy. Because they were together. No moments to seize, no threats to their loved ones. Only each other by their side every day and reunions with their living family once a year.

When Miguel grows up he looks almost exactly like Héctor, and Héctor is so happy and proud the first year he can really notice it clearly. 

Then, as Miguel grows older than Héctor ever got to, Héctor turns to Imelda each year and says, “Imelda, do you think that’s what I would look like at that age?” 

He doesn’t say it with any sadness or grief. There’s a lightness to his question; simple curiosity. What would he have looked like had he kept on living. Miguel is the closest he gets to ever finding out. And he loves seeing the lines spread and deepen in Miguel’s face as the years go by; his dimple being accompanied by dozens of tributaries when he smiles at his family.
