[Manolo gazes back at him. Now that he knows just what Joaquin sees when he looks at his face, there's an added layer to his friend's words.]
I haven't sacrificed more than anyone else I know. [His mother died defending him and his father from bandits. His father died defending San Angel. His cousins laid down their lives for Zapita during the Revolution. A lot of the bullfighters in his family ended up dying in the ring because they believed it was important to carry on the family tradition.
