Summary
Nacho definitely remembered dying.
He remembered holding a gun to Bolsa’s head, knowing that even if he pulled the trigger, he would be gunned down in an instant.
He hadn’t wanted to give those assholes the satisfaction of shooting him. He did it himself.
He thought he might remember being dead. There was definitely a sense that time had passed. But… his death had been quick. There was no light at the end of a tunnel; his life hadn’t flashed before his eyes. He had pulled the trigger, and then he was gone. He hadn’t even had time to register the sound of the gunshot.
But when he finally managed to claw his way out of the dirt that covered him, he was alone. No Salamancas, no Fring and his goons, no Bolsa.
And there was a sense of… blackness, he supposed. Like when you wake up after sleeping; even when you can’t remember any dreams, your mind knows that time has passed.
It felt a little like that.
(Nacho wakes up in the desert more than four years after his death. With the Salamancas' iron grip on the drug trade gone, he meets Jesse Pinkman and Walter White.)

Summary
2004
As Nacho is escaping Lalo's "Cielito Lindo" in Chihuahua, the darkness outside of the hacienda seems to show him all but freedom and second chances, anticipating a dusty and light blue-hued omen of death, making Nacho soon realize that running back to Fring meant demise for him and an unknown fate for his father.
What did running back to Lalo mean? More death? Choosing between Fring's cold machinations checkmating him or Eduardo Salamanca's warm hands choking him was easy."Would he listen to him? Would Lalo be the strong and unmovable thing that could save his dad, as batshit as it sounded?"
2007
In a Salamanca owned Albuquerque, Nacho lives in hiding as the most wanted man by the DEA on the US side of the border, since, as promised by the fireplace three years earlier by Lalo, he's running the city's drug trade, changing safehouses frequently, and having to deal with a mysterious rat who's tipping off information to the police. As if that wasn't enough, Nacho has to battle with the gut wrenching guilt and anguish of seeing Manuel grieve his death from afar, and with Lalo being back in town to "make sure the business is running in order" once again.Bookmarked by Nachitolalito

Summary
"I know your weakness.”
Lalo tilts his head as his gaze wanders up Nacho’s body. There’s the hint of a smile right where his mustache disguises the corners of his mouth. “And what would that be, eh? Pretty boys with murder in their eyes?”
Nacho scoffs. “I was thinking more along the lines of a bullet to the head”, he answers, and shoots.
There's a certain moment in time that Nacho can't seem to escape.
