Look at this mere coincidence, right?
Nina: You're so strong and bossy but never saw this coming, huh?
She just wanted your money. Now, I have to be here to get my money, which should already be mine. I wanted to understand this agreement between our parents, but oh well...
Stay with your blonde when you wake up. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but you deserve her! A fake in everything, and ugly. I'm beautiful, but you like trashy women, right?! Men...
Now, I'm going to get ready!
Vitor, do you think this black tube dress is better, or this floral one?
I think the floral one is better. If your cousin shows up, he'll want to devour me. I hate him with all my heart, that psychopath. God deliver me from him.
I think he's stealing from your father, but I have no way to prove it, it's just a suspicion...
Look, I'm beautiful...
Someone knocks on the door...
Nina: Just a minute.
Cecilia: Can I come in, my dear?
Nina: Yes, Auntie. If it's just you, I'm almost finished getting ready.
Cecilia: You look beautiful. Vitor loves flowers...
Nina: Really? He's so rude and angry; I never noticed that about him.
Cecilia: It's just a shell he has, but he's a sweetheart. You'll see when he wakes up...
Nina: I hope so, Auntie...
Cecilia: I'm going to take care of him now...
Nina: What do you mean by "take care of him"? Does he feel? How does he eat? I want to help you take care of him. You're wearing yourself out alone...
Have you thought about hiring a nurse?
Cecilia: I have, but they're not patient. They're always on their phones, they don't help, and they hurt him. I've seen bruises on him several times. I couldn't prove it, but I noticed them.
Nina: I understand.
Cecilia: A person in a vegetative state can react in different ways. The main signs of a vegetative state include a lack of awareness of oneself or the environment and a lack of sustained, reproducible, purposeful, or voluntary behavioral responses to visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli, as the doctor explained to us. Therefore, he cannot:
Speak or follow commands;
Be aware of what is happening around him;
Think or move his body purposefully;
Control urination or defecation.
However, a characteristic of the vegetative state is that there is sufficient preservation of the diencephalon and brainstem, so Vitor can:
Sleep and wake up in a regular cycle;
Perform basic movements, such as yawning, gasping, chewing, and coughing;
Appear to be smiling or frowning;
Open his eyes and blink.
Nina: Wow, does he do any of those things?
Cecilia: Many... but he still hasn't moved or opened his eyes, smiled, or looked different. I wish it would happen soon; it would be a good sign. I hope you can help him. He's always been a womanizer; maybe you can cheer him up, huh...
Nina: (blushing)
Cecilia: Don't blush; he's your husband.
Nina: But we never had anything...
Cecilia: But all that rebelliousness, to me, was love. (laughs)
Nina: I don't think so. He hated me.
Cecilia: He didn't know how beautiful and sweet you are on the inside.
Nina: I don't know; it hurts to know that he could wake up, reject me, and kick me out of here.
