[All the images, scents and sounds Manolo associated with the Day of the Dead definitely brought back nostalgic feelings from years past, especially when he recalled the way he, Joaquin, and Maria used to play in the graveyard together.
But most of those things were gone now, and they just had their memories and their best attempts to keep the tradition alive despite their circumstances.
Joaquin's last comment, though...the words seem to reach into Manolo's chest, warming his heart. Not just today, but everyday. It takes him a moment to swallow the unexpected lump in his throat.]
Hey...thank you. [He's definitely smiling.] I hope you know I feel the same about you.
[He doesn't want Joaquin to think he somehow takes him for granted.]
