PANEL 1: CAYETANO directs his attention to TRES PRIMOS. CAYE: Are you behind this boy Fernando standing for Emperor? That feels like you three. TALL PRIMO: It’s not us, Caye. IT’S HIS RIGHT. His father should’ve had the crown. PANEL 2: CAYE digs deeper on his point, while TALL PRIMO looks at him, surprised. CAYE: LOTS of should’ves and could’ves in this family! Given. your mother, YOU should’ve been head of Indústriaglobo by now. So let’s not talk about the roads not taken. PANEL 3: The SQUAT PRIMO responds as CAYE responds, exacerbated. SQUAT PRIMO: You were closer to his dad than we ever were, and still you— CAYE: I DID EVERYTHING I COULD! But this curséd family has the knives out every five seconds. I couldn’t watch him every minute of the day. PANEL 4: Intense closeup on CAYE’s face. CAYE: I loved that man!

PANEL 5: NANDO looks to his side while CAYE directs his attention to him, pointing at him. CAYE: I’m sorry to you Fernando. (smaller) For a thousand reasons I’m sorry. But there’s not a chance in hell I’m letting you run this empire. PANEL 6: NANDO in the background looking a little shell shocked, CAYE dramatically puts his hand against NANDO as he turns and walks away. CAYE: Let’s get these asinine speeches over with. I’m taking the damn throne. And then I’m dragging us all back from disaster. —— Want to read the full story?
