This is literal kidnapping.
hector rivera went through such a tremendous amount of bullshit in both life AND death, it’s frankly amazing. dude is fucking betrayed and murdered by his trusted partner and can’t even avoid his song-stealing ass in his afterlife, can’t reconnect with his dead wife because she still believes he abandoned her and their daughter, can’t so much as look at his fucking daughter for decades because he’s been basically erased from his family’s memory and can’t cross over to the living world, can’t even have a dignified reputation on the land because other people mock the way he (believes he) died, like. this is A Lot and his happy ending is long overdue.
