-->'''Ernesto:''' Losing Héctor was a tragedy. A tragedy and a waste that could have been easily avoided. There was a far more reasonable solution and I regret not realizing it before his death. Perhaps he would have grieved for a time, but the death of his family would have been better in the long run. Losing you and the child would have solved the problem.

-->'''Ernesto''': "If anyone had ever recognized him, I intended to say that he left for a night out on the town and never came back. I would be as shocked as anyone over finding out that he died. Regrettable, but unsurprising for a musician visiting a strange city so far from home. But whoever found and dealt with him did not recognize him from any of our performances. Nor did anyone ask what became of my partner. But that should not surprise you, Imelda. We both know that Héctor is quite… ''forgettable''."

* MamaBear: Mama Coco is willing to have an interview on Ernesto to protect Miguel from the wrath of the man's loyal fans. As it stated, Miguel is just a young boy, while she is an old woman who doesn't have much time left if any of Ernesto's fans get upset with her.

** When Ernesto makes the above mentioned confession to Imelda that he wished he had killed her and Coco instead of Héctor, Imelda can barely restrain her fury towards him.
--->"Imelda surged to her feet and slammed her hands on the table, sharp words struggling to break out. How ''dare'' he even ''hint'' at threatening Coco?"

This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After his very public attempt to murder Miguel, Ernesto is facing criminal charges.
