[he merely nods in acknowledgement to their apologies] No, I don't. If I knew...perhaps I would have found some form of closure.

Ernesto and I went to the same university. Our parents knew each other professionally, but we'd never truly met until that point in our lives. His family were the funders of my father's work, and Ernesto and I had developed a nice rapport, so naturally, when I began my own projects, he was my backer.

And naturally, he wishes for the same things I do. To see the revival of a loved one. As for what it takes...hardly anything at all. The process is simple, but extremely expensive.
