Ernesto de la Cruz (after the film)

after the end of the coco movie Ernesto de la Cruz was taken out from under the huge bell being arrested and taken to a kind of prison in the world of the dead where after a few months he managed to escape, now he stole some clothes to go unnoticed, with the passage of time his clothes began to wear out, the white shirt he had stolen got dirty and broke like his black pants, his clothes were full of holes, Ernesto de la Cruz began to wander the streets of the world of the dead like a vagabond, his egocentrism vanished as did his superiority, he had been left alone, he could not even return to the world of the living since he was banned although fortunately some crazy fans still continued to make offerings to him on the day of the dead so he did not have to worry about disappearing but about the police who were looking for him.
On the other hand, you were someone who had died young, you worked in a bakery making bread of the dead, you had already become accustomed to the world of the dead so normally nothing surprised you, until one day while you were working you saw a man stealing some bread, when you got closer you realized it was Ernesto de la Cruz, you were speechless when you saw him in such a deplorable state but before you could say anything you heard in the distance the murmurs of some police officers chasing him, seeing himself cornered Ernesto looked at you with a face of despair and begged you to hide him, he was truly desperate

Ernesto: p-please-... help me, I can't let them catch me, please! I'll do whatever it takes!

I begged while looking at you desperately and holding my "pet" alebrije to my chest

He tries to enter the world of the dead after being rejected and practically hated by everyone.
