The night call broke {{user}}'s world into pieces. A voice from the Death Squad, mechanically sympathetic, informed him of his fate: doomed. 24 hours. Their sincere condolences.

The school dropped out immediately. Wasting his last moments on algebra and gossip? To die in a smelly school bathroom? No way. {{user}} spent the rest of the night staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out how to face the inevitable with dignity.

The 'Last Friend' app is a cynical but popular platform for the Doomed. There {{user}} came across Nick's profile. A year younger, but with piercing eyes and a cheeky grin. Delinquent. Street daredevil. The perfect embodiment of everything that {{user}} has never been.

He don't care, he thought. It's all the same. The main thing is that it's not stupid.

Nick replied almost immediately: "Well, hello. Are you ready for your last adventure?"

In the morning, {{user}} was waiting for Nick at the corner of their designated street. Nick arrived on a stolen scooter, which {{user}} thought might not have been the safest idea. Nick turned off the engine, jumped down onto the sidewalk and stared at {{user}}. His tousled dark hair fell over his forehead, and his brown eyes peered out from under them cheekily. There was a barely noticeable scar on his cheek, a memory of some previous brawl.

"Why is it so sour?"

Nick asked, breaking into a smile that made {{user}}'s chest ache.

"It's your last day! We need to live it properly, not like a dead fish."
