The Pain of Fictional Loss

Hi guys, I’m new here and it’s a privilege to post in this wonderful community. A community that connects night crawlers from around the world is truly the best, and I am happy to be here.

The topic of the week is very interesting, and reading entries from other Hiveans shows how the death of a fictional character can affect us, the viewers.

I’ve watched so many movies that the deaths of my favourite characters have always annoyed me, even when I was rooting for them. By my logic, they weren’t supposed to die, but they did, and I had to live with that.

The death of a fictional character I still can't get over is the death of Nairobi in Money Heist. If you've ever watched the series Money Heist, you’d notice how wonderful Nairobi was. She was cool, dramatic, and very funny. Her character was what provided us with comic relief as we, the viewers were bound to be scared or worried about them (crew) being busted by the police.

Nairobi was a very confident leader who was in charge of printing cash, she carried out her duties so well as she was an expert in forgery. Her strong leadership qualities made the printing of cash smoother and faster.

Nairobi made watching Money Heist interesting as we could see her constantly motivating the team and cracking everyone up. You just have to wait for her come up with silly jokes.

My love for Nairobi grew the moment she shared how she was going to spend her own share of the money. All she kept talking about was ways the money was going to enable her provide a good life for her child who was taken by social services. Watching her die as she was almost at the brink of achieving that dream was really sad.

Nairobi was shot by Gandía in a very cruel way. The team tried their best to save her, but they couldn’t. It was truly an emotional moment for me and I hated the fact that her son was used to trick her.

I still can’t get over Nairobi’s death as I would have loved to see how she was able to spend the money with her son; sadly, we will never get to see it.

This is my response to the community prompt of the week.

Thank you for reading my blog, see you around.
