The Giant just happily stands hunched over next to Fausto on the elevator ride without saying anything to him. He begins to whistle a tune while they wait and Fausto immediately recognizes the song. It is the theme to the movie "Mad Revolver" however, Fausto thinks to himself that this giant has got some rhythm to him. Just hearing him whistle it, Fausto can imagine the intro credits to the movie and brought some joy to him in this weird ass situation that he found himself in. For some reason, since he was kid, credit intros were one of his favorite parts in a movie. He knew that judging off the intro, a movie was going to bad or good. He felt that just a couple of words on a screen and the right choice of music was enough to give an identity.
"Do you recognize where that song is from, young man?", the Giant spoke in a frail old person's voice. Fausto become thrown off as he did not expect a voice like to come out of the Giant's mouth. But because he asked in such a soft tone, Fausto didn't want to be rude and he replies, "Yeah it was from that one movie, Mad Revolver, right? I love that movie." The Giant chuckles and kindly asks, "Well yes the song was used in that movie but I'm asking of you know who created such a beautiful piece of music?"
"I don't know, ah- sir?", says Fausto. The Giant laughs and says to Fausto, "You don't have to call me sir. Well since you don't know where the original piece came from. I'll tell you... The song was originally constructed by Spanish composer, Salvador Navarro", he says with flair while he waves his abnormally long hand in the air. "He was a composer that came into prominence during the spanish civil war and eventually made a name for himself by writing beautiful music during those horrible times, when murder was right around the corner. Well anyway before I get ahead of myself, he wrote that song for his beloved wife, that unfortunately passed away when a bomb fell on top of her, shredding her to bits of meat and gore," the Giant continued but as the Giant explains about the composer's wife's death, Fausto notices that the Giant has some excitement in his voice.
"He wrote somewhere that while he wrote that piece, all he can do is cry. Memories of his wife flooded his thoughts and as well as the anger of being left alone to deal with such a trauma. He contemplated suicide but found that a way out like that was not enough to sanction his soul from the weight of the sadness within him, for it wasn't something that he can let go so easily. To Salvador, to forget about that sadness is to forget his wife. So he wrote that beautiful piece for his wife. The sadness, the love, the anger as well as the eternal longing of her love; all lost to the sands of time", tells the Giant. "It was such a tragedy, at least the song was in that one movie", he says sarcastically.
Fausto is left uncomfortable by the giant now that he knows so much about a song and it's dark history. "How do you know so much about that song?", asks Fausto. "I spent most of my time preparing for when we meet, Fausto", says the Giant. Him saying his name creeps him out and sends a shiver that rattles throughout his bones.
"In reality, I was just saying all that so the "he" would stop paying attention so I am going to be quick. Don't believe everything he says to you and most importantly, don't let them known that you're sleeping", ominously says the Giant. He sighs and continues, "All that to just say that to you, geez what a waste. Well either way", says the Giant as the elevator comes to a stop.
"I'll catch you around, young man", the Giant whispers as he hums away the remaining of the song while he exits. "What the hell was that all about? Am I asleep?", Fausto thinks to himself.
