lunch. Roberto, meanwhile, advances to Gerardo for help, affirming that Paulina is
crazy and will slaughter him. Gerardo explains that Paulina is convinced that Roberto

Gerardo yields that he's exhausted on being in the center of Paulina and Roberto, a
position he includes in this trio, yet in the new government, as well. He will serve on a
commission that should track down some sort of concordance between finding a type
of value for the slaughtered without over-aggravating the responsible, who really hold
critical parts in the public power and society. Unexpectedly, Gerardo has not started

Gerardo and Roberto
Gerardo drops the wild exhibit, surrendering that he, also, is frightened. Roberto
requests that Gerardo help him, explaining that since he is exemplary, he doesn't
know absolutely what he is supposed to concede to and Gerardo should help him find.
Subsequently, Roberto requests that Gerardo ought to boggle his life partner to save
the presence of an innocent man. Roberto asks Gerardo in case he truly believes in the
expert's innocence. Gerardo counters by asking Roberto for what valid justification
his appraisal on the matter is huge. Roberto explains that Gerardo's evaluation is
everything; as a person from the Investigating Commission, he is the voice of human
progression. Gerardo heartbreakingly agrees preceding leaving the room in
frustration.
In the last snapshots of the scene, Roberto concedes that Gerardo's assessment of his
honesty or blame is critical to him. Though he believes Paulina's allegations to be the
ravings of a maniac, it is important that Gerardo, the public essence of the new
majority rules system and a possibly high-positioning future individual from
government, have faith in his honesty. Rather than complimenting Gerardo, Roberto's
regard just appears to dishearten him, as he unexpectedly comprehends that Paulina is
frail and inconsequential, both in their general public everywhere and inside the
develops of the new government.
