Episodio 5. Duelo amoroso y mortal: ¿escalera o montaña rusa?

Lots of giggling and laughing, but we can't keep ignoring the elephant in the room. It's dressed in black, hands out tissues, and its name is grief. The human response to loss is like a rollercoaster, but let's delude ourselves—who doesn't after a breakup?—and take this emotional and literary journey as if it were linear. A bus trip with Paloma Campomanes at the wheel, including a stop in Villalpando. We turn up the volume on the sad music, courtesy of Raquel Presumido, to talk about the universal Roman Empire: death. Death and loneliness. Death and companionship. Death in the cemetery or far from it, under purple lilies. Conspiracy theories, fake or presumed deaths in a timeline of funeral events, followed by event venues, tourist apartments, and AIs. Thank goodness we warned you about the low point. Be careful not to step onto the holy platform and suffer with us. We're sure we can make something beautiful out of this.
