Se interrogate uno storico, o buoni ed amabili lettori, vi risponderà che la tomba della bella Parthenope è sull’altura di San Giovanni Maggiore, dove allora il mare lambiva il piede della montagnola. Un altro vi dirà che la tomba di Parthenope è sull’altura di Sant’Aniello, verso la campagna, sotto Capodimonte.
Ebbene, io vi dico che non è vero. Parthenope non ha tomba, Parthenope non è morta. Ella vive, splendida, giovane e bella, da cinquemila anni. Ella corre ancora sui poggi, ella erra sulla spiaggia, ella si affaccia al vulcano, ella si smarrisce nelle vallate. È lei che rende la nostra città ebbra di luce e folle di colori: è lei che fa brillare le stelle nelle notti serene; è lei che rende irresistibile il profumo dell’arancio; è lei che fa fosforeggiare il mare.
"If you ask a historian, or good and amiable readers, he will answer that the tomb of the beautiful Parthenope is on the hill of San Giovanni Maggiore, where at that time the sea lapped the foot of the mountain. Another will tell you that Parthenope's tomb is on the hill of Sant'Aniello, towards the countryside, below Capodimonte.
Well, I tell you that is not true. Parthenope has no grave, Parthenope is not dead. She has lived, splendid, young and beautiful, for five thousand years. She still runs on the hillocks, she wanders on the beach, she looks out over the volcano, she gets lost in the valleys. It is she who makes our city intoxicated with light and mad with colors: it is she who makes the stars shine on clear nights; it is she who makes the scent of orange irresistible; it is she who makes the sea phosphorize."

Does Chloe tone down her direct bullying/harassment of Marinette after that day to just the dead mom jokes out of guilt, or is it more that Marinette now being homeschooled means Chloe just lost access? Also, does Lila try the whole lying/sabotaging thing on Marinette and just fail or does Marinette just not care?
Lila has no reason to sabotage Marinette because Marinette isn't threatening her little empire she wants to build. In fact, she really wants Marinette on her side BECAUSE she's not apart of the school, so she doesn't need to keep up an elaborate web of lies! She can just try to befriend a talented girl who makes AMAZING food and try to get freebies~
meanwhile, with Chloe, things got really complicated after the pool incident...
Tom was not in the mood to put up with this crap.

Your speech and your mission have always been about the dignified representation and respect, above all, of the same opportunities for the brown people, for people of color, not only from Mexico, from all of Latin America — from all over the world, and now you're here. You are K’uk'ulkan, you are Namor. You are a funko, you are all of this, so what do you expect it to mean for the representation in Latin America and in Mexico for everyone who is getting this important message?
Lo único qué quiero es qué la próxima vez qué los moritos y morritas se vean al espejo se sientan orgullosos de ese reflejo qué vean qué nunca hubo nada malo en ellos si no en los ojos qué los juzgaron si eso sucede estoy del otro lado.
