The sadness of death
Step-by-step explanation:
In each of these, someone dies and it’s tragic in every event. In “Pap Wakes Up Tired in the Dark”, her grandpa dies and she’s scared the same will happen to her father. In “Born Bad”, they intimidate Aunt Lupe not know she’d die the next day. In “Geraldo No Last Name”, Marin meets this young boy and she dances with him, he was then hit by a car and died in the emergency room. She stays with him through it all, but doesn’t know why.
