[Héctor is not allowed to sing. Not because of anything terrible, not because he feels any guilt. He's not allowed because he's a celebrity now and if he doesn't want this place overrun with fans or the like, he needs to wait until everyone's had their turn. It's the same reason he's not a skeleton on this night.
He doesn't need a machine anyway, just as before, he'll play on his own. The song of choice? An old classic in honor of Garcie and the rest of his time here. And his wife, of course.
He cheers all his friends on from the sidelines, and to Ekkehardt, has to say; I remember when we sang la Seinne. I think I know why you chose that now. Having been to death's river and back and all.
He finds himself laughing much of the night. And it occurs to him again, besides his primos, besides the family he's going home with, he might have made just one more family.
It's that thought that eventually has him sing and play just a snippet of an old song, one he decided he didn't want anymore... but one he thinks he can use now. With some adjustment.]
...To be here with you tonight brings me joy, que alegria For this music is my language, and my world es mi familia For this music is my language, and my world es mi familia For this music is my language...

...To be here with you tonight brings me joy, que alegria
For this music is my language, and my world es mi familia
For this music is my language, and my world es mi familia
For this music is my language...
...And you guys are mi familia.
[He smiles softly into the mic.]
Goodnight, everyone.
