Gabriel: By The Sun… Is that blood falling from the sky?
Gabriel: No… It is too late. Mediodía! Where are you?! Mediodía, answer me!
Gabriel: Mediodía… I am truly sorry. It is time to end this—for good.
Gabriel: I understand how you feel! But you have to stop this madness!
Ulises: You understand? Do not make me laugh! You could never grasp my pain!
Gabriel: You are consumed by rage for what The Sun did to you—and you have every right. Even so, you cannot condemn the world for His crimes.
Ulises: Ha, ha, ha… No wonder my mother wanted you dead from the start. What good is a witness who cannot even face his own sins?
Gabriel: Yes… I came here to kill you. I admit it—and I am sorry. Let me help you. Together, we can find another way!
Ulises: No! It’s too late for apologies! I will erase every trace of The Sun—until nothing is left!
Gabriel: I wish there were another way…
Dolores: LIAR! I WILL NOT LET YOU HARM HIM AGAIN! NO MORE…. HE IS YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!
Gabriel: My blood? What are you talking about?
Dolores: I’VE TOLERATED YOUR IGNORANCE LONG ENOUGH! NOW, IT’S TIME TO REMEMBER!
Dolores: My Lord… I see unrest in your eyes. Has something happened?
The Sun: This child, Dolores…. he should have never been born.
Dolores: What do you mean, my Lord? He is Your son, our miracle.
The Sun: I have seen what lies ahead. A fate where even Death itself fears him. A future where nothing remains… only emptiness.
Dolores: He’s just a child! You cannot condemn him for sins he has yet to commit. If we stand by his side, if we guide him… none of that has to come to pass. I beg you… reconsider.
The Sun: My love… we cannot take that chance.
Dolores: If you do this… I will curse you. I will not rest until Your reign withers and Your name is lost to time. The Sun will not burn forever, and when You fall, I will be there to see it.
The Sun: Restraint her.
Dolores: Let me go! No! NO! STOP!
The Sun: I am sorry, my little flame… I am so, so sorry.
Gabriel: I am… I have always been The Sun.
Dolores: A COWARD, THAT’S ALL YOU’VE EVER BEEN! YOU CHOSE TO FORGET… RATHER THAN FACE THE TRUTH!
Gabriel: You are right, I was afraid. I could not allow him to destroy everything.
Dolores: IF THE UNIVERSE MUST PERISH SO OUR SON MAY LIVE… THEN SO BE IT! NOW YOU SHALL BE JUDGED, GOD OF MURDERERS! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW YOU’RE A MURDERER?
Gabriel: Dolores, look at me! I know you are still in there! Dolores, please… come to your senses.
Dolores: I’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID.
Ulises: IT HURTS, MOTHER!
Dolores: DON’T TOUCH HIM, FILTH! HE WAS YOUR SON… YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HIM!
Gabriel: Hate me if you must… but I cannot let the world burn because of me! Believe me… I am not the same. I want to help you!
Ulises: HE IS A LIAR, HE ALWAYS LIES!
Gabriel: I did not come here to fight you… do not make me do this!
Dolores: YOU CAN’T STOP US!
Ulises: KILL HIM, KILL HIM!
Dolores: THE GAMES ARE OVER!
Gabriel: Listen to me! We can still find another way—together!
Dolores: DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH, ASESINO! YOU’RE TRYING MY PATIENCE, CARNICERO.
Gabriel: You are not a monster… I know who you are! If there is still any good left in you… stop our son!
Dolores: I WON’T LET YOU LAY A FINGER ON HIM! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!
Gabriel: I am sorry… you leave me no choice.
Gabriel: I hope you can forgive me someday, but I have no choice. A god would have found another way. A true one, at least. That is why I, Gabriel Escudero, renounce my lineage, my past. All that I once was. Let this promise be written… upon the heart I ignored for far too long. From this moment on, and until the end of my days, I will do all I can to redeem my sins. I do not know when, or how… but I swear I will come back for you. Not as the god I was… but as the man I was always meant to be. And I will save you. What have I done?
Mediodía: Chin up, Cap! Not many know what it’s like to wear the crown.
Gabriel: Mediodía? I thought you were—
Mediodía: What? That I’d croaked? Puh-lease! I’m tougher than gum stuck to a boot. You ain’t gettin’ rid of me that easy!
Gabriel: I never thought I would say this, but… I am glad to hear your voice.
Mediodía: Huh? Was that a compliment? Looks like I’ll have to die more often!
Gabriel: In the end, I could not change anything.
Mediodía: That’s not true! You’ve changed. And as long as The Sun keeps rising… there’s always another chance. So… what do you say, Cap?
Gabriel: Let us do this… Cadet.
La Plañidera: I always believed the gods were perfect… Untouchable… Distant as stars, far from weakness of any kind. But today… Today, I saw one weep. I saw one laugh… I saw one hesitate… Because if even the gods fear tomorrow—if not even them can escape their fate… Then I ask you… what makes them so special? If they dream… if they fall in love… if they suffer… then we are all trapped in the same dream. And let me tell you something, my darlings… Even if that dream is the most beautiful in the world… we will have to wake up. Because at the end of the Night, no matter how hard we fight… dreams… are still just dreams.
