Biography
In the first flashback Henry is seen bringing Penelope to his apartment and the 2 make loving conversations and conversations about life in general. In the second flashback (the day of their breakup) Henry is shown in a panic as he tries to prevent Penelope from walking out on him, going as far as to kiss her but she just pushes him away causing him to become enraged and slap her.Then Miguel jumps on Henry from behind and the 2 get into a fierce brawl in which the 2 beat each other relentlessly during which Miguel grabs a concrete rock and hits Henry in the eye with it (giving him a scar and he is forced to replace his eye with a glass one) then continues to beat him until he is bloody and bruised as the siblings walk away. During the Purge, Henry attends the Carnival of Flesh and purchases Penelope from an auction tormenting her for hours until Miguel arrives and is captured by Carnival security however before Miguel can be killed by the security guards Henry stops them claiming "He's mine" as Miguel is tied up and Henry begins to taunt Miguel before briefly telling him "fuck you" before punching him in the stomach and chuckling. Miguel tells Henry to do whatever he wants to him but to let Penelope go Henry responds by telling him she deserves a lot worse than him as he tries to strangle him eventually stopping to sharpen a knife to stab Miguel's eye out. Miguel claims that he should have killed Henry when he had the chance Henry responds by taunting Miguel more. As he begins to prepare to kill Miguel saying he'll take his eye first, then his sister telling him he'll see it all before he bleeds out then asking him if he has any last words Miguel responds with "Yeah, you missed a spot." before headbutting Henry and kicking him in the face knocking him unconscious. Miguel then knocks over the wooden pole he's handcuffed to and slips the handcuffs off the pole but before he can grab the keys from Henry's pocket, Henry regains consciousness and Miguel begins to kick Henry to the point where he is coughing and choking. Henry quickly attempts to grab his knife but before he can Miguel wraps the handcuff chain around Henry's neck and strangles him to death.
