“JAIRO JAIRO!” Jairo hears a voice and slowly opens his right eye, he sees Alejandro calling for him. Alejandro struggles with tears in his eyes. Rosa immediately holds him; “Alejandro stop, you have to keep your voice down…”

“But...but...Jairo…”

“Alejandro, you must act accordingly...please step outside until you are thinking straight…” Kasumi orders Alejandro. Suddenly, Jairo begins to speak; “W-W-Wait...I want to speak to you guys…” Jairo lifts his body and takes his oxygen off, Shion immediately exclaims; “Jairo, wait...you have just been attended, your wounds may open…”

“It’s okay...I feel that my end is near so please respect my final wish and give my parting words to you all…” Jairo breathes heavily, every member of the team including Alejandro are there. Anastasia was asked to stay outside. Jairo begins to speak:

“I was always so egocentric and selfish. I used people to get what I wanted...in reality, I was a bad person...even when I came here, my objective was to be the leader instead of Kasumi…” Jairo begins to cry; “But I was wrong, I realized that sometimes you have people you care about...in the last years of my life, I found the family I always lacked...Chelsea...don’t ever change, and keep practicing those makeup lessons I thought you…they are important if you ever want to get marry…”

“Don’t worry, I will never forget your advice and I promise I will remember all of our girls' nights out…” Chelsea says as she begins to cry. Jairo continues to speak:

“Carlos, if you don’t change your manly attitude, girls will never talk to you...but please always stay strong, and remember that it is important to protect the weak…”

“Crazy old man, chicks love my attitude…” Carlos chuckles with tears in his eyes. Jairo looks at Shion; “Shion, I know that work is important but you must also have fun, don’t let the shadows of the Saito clan pursue you...you are free, always remember that…”

“I won’t, thank you so much for everything…” Shion bows as a sign of gratitude as she lets out tears. Jairo looks at Kasumi; “Kasumi, forgive me for trying to hurt you all those years ago...I came to respect you as a leader and as a friend...please don’t get discouraged for this, it’s part of the job...remember, the Miyazono clan is nothing without you...Kasumi, stay strong and don’t give up...also, you will one day get marry with that beautiful dress that I made for you…”

Kasumi removes her glasses and falls to her knees crying; “I promise that I will make you proud...Jairo-san, thank you for all your hard work…” Jairo looks at Rosa who is crying; “Rosa, I have two request for you...please tell Flor, that I won’t be able to go out with her on saturday...and please tell my hubby Antonio to forgive me, but I broke our promise...Rosa, thank you for being there for me...you were like a mother and I appreciate all the times that we spend together, I know life has been hard for you and this might be another difficult moment, but remember to always support those in need like the mother you are…”

Rosa cries harder and says; “I WON’T I PROMISE THAT I WILL TELL THEM…” Jairo, stretches his hand at Alejandro; “Alejandro, you are the person who changed my heart, you’re the reason I could smile once more...you are not a loser, I believe that you will be the hero who will save this world one day...Don’t get discouraged for this, I will always be with you...my best friend…” Alejandro grabs his hand tighter; “I won’t Jairo, thank you for being my friend...please don’t go…”

“I must, my journey ends here...but yours is only the beginning, please, stay strong...and don’t worry, the ladies always like the brave one better, don’t forget that….Good bye...my friend…” Jairo slowly lets go of Alejandro, he looks at the ceiling and thinks:

“So, this is how death feels, it’s so warm...you were right brother, I found my errors and corrected them, thanks to him...I have so many things to say and I hope I could’ve seen everyone one last time...including you...brother…”

“Jairo...Jairo...” Jairo hears the voice of a woman calling for him; “Mother?” He looks to his right and sees a beautiful woman with black hair, he begins to cry; “Mother...I’ve missed you so much…” The woman extends her hand; “My sweet Jairo, it’s time to go...I want to hear all of your adventures…”

(BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP)

Jairo’s heart beats faster as he takes one last breath; “Good bye...everyone...mother, I have a lot of stories to tell you…” Jairo smiles one last time as he slowly closes his eyes.

(BBBBBEEEEEEEPPPPP)

“JAIRO!” Alejandro screams as he cries, everyone begins to grieve as the machine indicates the loss of his life. Jairo in his spirit form grabs his mother’s hand as he in the form of a child walks alongside his mother as they head to the light.

On the night of February 24th, at exactly 11:59 pm...Jairo de la Hoya slowly drew his last breath and his soul now rests in peace….
